Hi all,
I am implementing a device with several action servers that will be run in parallel. While they are all different, I want the device to only process a single goal at a time. While one goal is being executed no other action servers should accept and process any goals.
Does actionlib provide a way to handle this? Thanks.
Action servers have the ability to queue goals you. Can choose any mechanism that you want to do that queuing. It sounds like this logic for your application will be quite specific so you will have to create your own action server logic to do that. But it's completely possible with the action design. You just will not be able to use the example action server implementations as they won't implement your custom logic.

This is kind of a unique problem. I don't think that something like that is provided by the action lib. You would have to take care of the event handling yourself and all the thread management could get quite tricky...
