I do this and it works fine; I have a variety of cron jobs on several different heartbeat/DRBD clusters that I want to run only on the master, so just check for the presence of something that will only be there when the shared storage area is mounted: * * * * [ -d /rep/mysql ] && cron-script This is when the DRBD shared disk is mounted as /rep, and /var/lib/mysql is a symlink to /rep/mysql for a MySQL service. The condition is true only when that host is the master, so cron-script only runs on the master. Kludgy but simple; works for me. --Greg _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list Linux-HA@lists.linux-ha.org http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
