Alfredo,
Thanks! That was very helpful, although I have a couple more questions for the list. What I am trying to do seems well suited for the existing "depend" and "depend-mode" capability. Essentially, I'm trying to use this to "group" services. So, assume I have 3 services: A, B, and C (in my case, A is an IP service, B and C both have an fs and a script resource). I want B and C to depend on A such that B and C will only start on the node where A is running. I assume I can do this by:

<service autostart="1" name="B" recovery="relocate" depend="service:A" depend-mode="hard">
     <fs ... />
     <script .../>
   </service>

   <service autostart="1" name="C" depend="service:A" depend-mode="hard">
     <fs .../>
     <script .../>
   </service>

   <service autostart="1" name="A" recovery="relocate">
     <ip ref="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"/>
   </service>

Unfortunately, this didn't work as expected. If I start A on node 1, services B and C seem perfectly happy to run on any other node. If a coerce everybody on the same node, and relocate (or disable A), services B and C continue on blissfully ignoring the status of A. Do I need to write and event handler for this situation (which seems much simpler than the follow-service script)?

Again, thanks in advance!

Gives some example about dependencies on services etc..

A very good document

Hi all,
I saw in a message on the net about a *depends="service:xxxx" *option for services in cluster.conf for 5.3beta. Did this single-level dependency support make it into the 5.3 release? It would be really, really useful if it did! If not, can anyone suggest a way that I can have a multiple services depend on a single IP?

Thanks in advance!
