I have defined my own pre-defined filters in :
/usr/local/RapidInformer/scripts/startup/createRouteExpressions.groovy

To be enable these filters, I had to create the following link:

root@itmlab08:/usr/local/RapidInformer/scripts/ondemand_scripts> ls -l create*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 40 Nov 22 15:54 createRouteExpressions.groovy -> ../startup/createRouteExpressions.groovy
root@itmlab08:/usr/local/RapidInformer/scripts/ondemand_scripts>

This allows me to run the script from the Admin GUI (Scripts tab).

But when I stop and restart RInf, the filters are reset to their default value. I mean the new filters that I defined in the groovy script are no longer displayed in the Simplified UI.

Any idea why ?
A bug or a side effect of the softlink ?

Scripts under RINF_HOME/scripts/startup folder run every time RapidInformer starts. Also, what createRouteExpressions.groovy does is to reset all filters as configured at the top of the script. If you don't want this script to run at start up you should move it to RINF_HOME/scripts/ondemand_scripts folder, and run it manually whenever you want.

I assume that there is only one version of the script (in startup directory with a soft link from ondemand_scripts directory). Normally, the latest version of the script in startup should be executed during restart and this should have the same effect of running the on-demand script. We have created an issue and will post an update as soon as possible.

There was an old version of the createRouteExpressions.groovy in the startup directory. And *all* the files in the directory are executed upon startup, whatever their name and extension.
