ifstated can do this. (maybe it should be renamed to hoststated ;-) )
daemon_up = '( "/etc/rc.d/relayd check" every 10 )'
state main {
if !$daemon_up {
run "ifconfig -g carp carpdemote"
set-state demoted
}
}
state demoted {
if $daemon_up {
run "ifconfig -g carp -carpdemote"
set-state main
}
}
@dlg, is the current example in /usr/src/etc/ifstated.conf still valid?
Maybe we can replace it with the very simple example above?
