The entirety of the cogent entry in /etc/devd.conf that I am using follows;
notify 0 {
match "system" "CARP";
match "subsystem" "[0-9]+@";
match "type" "(INIT|MASTER|BACKUP)";
# action "/root/carpcontrol.sh $subsystem $type";
action "/etc/test_carp.sh $subsystem $type";
};
This differs from the example in "man 4 carp" only by one line. I substituted
the 'action "/etc/test_carp.sh $subsystem $type";' for the line above it, as I
cannot seem to locate a 'carpcontrol.sh' script anywhere on my 10.0-CURRENT
test platform. Hence my earlier inquiry as to if it had been prototyped
anywhere yet. I did locate several CARP related action scripts in
/usr/share/examples/hast/ but I'm not sure how they different from this
ephemeral 'carpcontrol.sh' script without seeing it.
