I am trying to figure out how to set up a failover system that runs apps
from crontab.
In my current setup, the server starts a cron job every 2 hours that
reaches out to my clients and pulls data. This must be a server-pull;
there is no way to set it up as a client-push. The data that's pulled
will be replicated using rsync, coda, etc to the backup server. (I have
not gotten that far yet.)
I'd like to set this up as a failover system. Apache sounds easy, but how
do I failover a cron job?
Also, is it possible to have the two servers in different geographic
locations? Ie. to do the failover to another server, in another country?

You are an adult when you realize that everyone's an idiot sometimes. You
are wise when you include yourself.
