This is incorrect, or at least incomplete.
Even if no "monitor" operation is configured, the cluster will do
startup probes to find out whether the resource is running somewhere and
in what state.
If those calls blindly return "no error" (ie, 0, success), the cluster
will go into multiple active recovery mode, which is not usually what
you want.
You _do_ want monitor to return the proper state of your resource.
The safe return code for those pseudo-resources like MailTo is
"OCF_NOT_RUNNING", but that should be done sparingly. It also means that
they'll not pass the ocf-tester script, but such is life.
Thank you very much. Good to know as I will have to write my first
custom OCF scripts soon.
