<p>Hi Timo,</p>
<p>Thank you very much for replying with an instant solution!<br /><br />Suggestion for future release: a setting in the configuration to enable/disable the automatic instance_update_now action and/or set the timeout by the user.<br /><br />In the meanwhile I can use the recompiled version with this code change. Problem solved for me.</p>
<p>Regards,<br />Tijl</p>

<div>You'd need to patch src/master/main.c instance_update_now() to remove:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>to_instance = timeout_add((3600 * 12 + i_rand_limit(60 * 30)) * 1000,</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> instance_update_now, list);</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm not quite sure why I wrote such code to update it continuously.</div>
