Add data in the class

Is there a compelling reason changes can't be saved from memory to file from an iRule? In theory you could run a cronjob to modify the class from outside the rule using 'b class CLASS_NAME...', and/or save the config running in memory to file using 'b config save'. I'm wondering if it's opening a can of worms or more plausible.

 

 

If it's not realistic to ever be able to persist changes to a class from an iRule, is there a recommended way of triggering an iControl script based on a change in state of an iRule?

 

 

Thanks,
