[ros-users] trigger goal from inside actionlib server

I have an actionlib server and I would like to be able to trigger its
own goal. I don't need any callbacks for goal accepted, feedback, or
even result. I just want to manually set the server to be active. Is
this possible? I can't figure out a way to do this.



It might be nice if actionlib::SimpleActionServer::acceptNewGoal() was
overloaded to accept a goal parameter. That would set the server
active, but with NULL callbacks.



Thanks,

-Ben
