After thinking about it for a while, I figured out that the "name=*" wouldn't work in the service property. I don't know why I though that would work. It only works in the filter, as you pointed out.
I finally got it working using: GET_ONE: "name=foo" GET_ALL: <nothing> services: (|(!(name=*))(name=<name>)) which means to send the status to anything whose name service property either doesn't exist or is the service name. I think that I like your "(all=yes)" idea better and I'll probably switch to that. Thanks for your help.
