Hi all, Does anyone know if an existing method to have init-scripts on server A wait for a service on server B to be started?
Reason for this: I have one server containing all the databases, one that operates as a NAS and the DNS is running on server 3. In order for the different machines to start correctly, I need to configure it that server 3 starts the DNS before the other machines try to access other machines (don't want to maintain hosts-files as it all works fine once the servers are up and running) Also need to make sure the database and NAS is running before the webserver starts. I tried to google for it, but I can't find a usefull search string that will give me anything usefull. I don't mind reqriting init-scripts for this, but am looking for a way to check if services are up and running from within the init-scripts. Thanks, Joost Roeleveld
