Ok, know i am understanding.

I know, but now it's better. ... i hope so

I was thinking about a monitoring application, where the
monitored items would be monitored by different tasks and
the main task only runs in a loop, triggering the tasks
and getting the results. So i stumbled on this issue.

Seems to be a better approach, to split the triggering/
monitoring and the resultholding in two different tasks.
