What signal when LinuxCNC is loaded?

What signal when LinuxCNC is loaded? was created by ikkuh
I got the beginnings of my control panel working (thanks to all!), see forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-q...paralel-bob?start=10
Problem I am facing now and not noticed before is that all the outputs from the BOB are high when power is switched on. This leads to dangerous and very noisy situations. The compressor, vacuum and air outlets all start to work when the CNC hardware is powered on.
What I am looking for to fix this is a signal that LinuxCNC generates when it is fully loaded and ready to start working. I want to attach that signal to a relay that will supply the BOB with power for the outputs.
But I can not find such a signal anywhere. There is a charge-pump that vaguely does what I am trying to do (according to some posts in the forum), but it seems overkill and I could not get it to work either.
I looked in all the HAL documentation, could not find the signal. I use gmoccapy, there is no signal there either.
So who can help me out? I am no wizard nor a specialist. Just a hobbyist with limited skills.

It is nice that you got triggered by the term charge-pump. But what good you are thinking with the links is a mystery to me.
What is the use of this? You are not helping, this is only adding to the frustration.
Please refrain from adding comment-less links like this. We are not all wizards or specialists in interpreting the documentation. I am sure you started out at a low level too.

Hi
I think you can use halui.machine.is-on this one is set to 1 when you turn on button from gui

The first few results have all the info about what a charge pump is, how to set it up and WHY and WHEN to use it.
In your case that is the only solution, there is no other way of fixing the "all high" or sometimes "all low" pins.
The first link has some simple schematics to build such a device, it has about 4 to 6 parts in total that can be sourced from old electronics boards and soldered together.
Or use inverters on all the pins that should be low.
The hal file should have something like this added to it:Or any of the output pins.
