Peter,
The problem is with the code
if [ $9 = "-u" ]; then
$HEARTBEAT restart
else
$HEARTBEAT stop
fi
What you really want is
if [ $9 == "-u"]; then
the single '=' is for assignment, not for testing equiviance...
What's happening is that the heartbeat isn't running and it can't seem to
get it started again
Thus it keeps tripping the alarm and trying to restart your heartbeat
process (which is can't and the fact that it's not running causes an alarm
to be thrown ad nausium...
Although it's better if you have it as
if [ "X$9" == "X-u"]; then
So that if $9 doesn't exist you won't get an error
Hope this helps,
