If there is a better forum for this, let me know and I will post my questions there.
I am building an application which needs to have high reliability. I have two essentially identical Linux servers which can host the application. Right now, I have the programs - a bash script and a c binary, running on one machine every minute in a cron job. I also have an rsync cron job running to synchronize the files on the standby machine so the data (and binaries, of course) will be identical. What I need to do is have the standby machine take over operations if the applications on the primary machine quite working, for whatever reason. Of course I can easily ping the primary to make sure the machine is up, but what is going to be my best bet for having the standby machine wake up and start running the apps every minute until such time as the primary comes back online? I'm wide open on how to implement. An external application would be great, or I could write either or both c or shell apps to have the two machines talk to one another. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
