Hi there list,

As I understand service specific event handlers are triggered for every state 
change whenever a server is in a SOFT state, and once when a service enters a 
HARD state.

Problem is that I have a service (an IPSEC tunnel) which is dependent on an 
outside source. If the outside party fails (whenever they do updates once a 
week) I actually kill the tunnel when attempting a restart. To solve this I 
would like to keep trying the restart.

I could do this in a SOFT state by increasing the max check attempts to a 
higher number... but than I would never get a notification. Letting the service 
go to a HARD state (to get the notification) would limit the restart attempt to 
just the one event when the service enters the HARD state.

I think there are 2 possibilities:

- Keep the service in a SOFT state and send out a notification on attempt X.
- Let the service go to a HARD state but keep on trying the restart.

Is there anyway I could achieve this? Or am I completely missing something.

If you set the service to volatile if will run the event handler every 
time the service is not OK, even after multiple HARD states.


The event handler at edcint.co.nz/checkwmiplus will also give you fine 
grain control over exactly what states the event handler should do 
something including specific text strings in the service output. This 
may add some flexibility so that you only restart the tunnel if you 
really need to.

Thanks... that did the trick. Did not solve the notification part. But I can 
live with that

That is in fact how it all started out for me: putting ping checks in cron jobs.
