[Olsr-users] Olsr Dot Draw Plugin

[Abubakr Ali]

Hi,

The "ONCE" variable is already off by default.
which means, supposedly, the map should reflect any topology change as it
occurs which is not happening.

what is happening is that i have to run the command every time I need to
see any change in the topology. Otherwise the topology changes without me
knowing.

Regards,
