Right, but you can also define the failover as a systemd service. systemd will
do the locking itself since "systemctl start X" is a noop if X is started.

In addition, you get the control with systemctl and the log in the journal.

For example:

---------- X.service ----------

[Unit]
Description=%n

[Service]
Type=oneshot
SyslogIdentifier=%N
RemainAfterExit=yes

ExecStart=command doing the failover

---------- X.service ----------
