Just discovered RPyC and I am sure it can do what I want, just cannot figure out how.
I have two servers (Ubuntu 11.04) and a control program that can run on either one, which also continuously updates a heartbeat file while it is running. I have a monitor program which checks the date of the heartbeat file, if it is more that 15 minutes old it sends me an email. This works fine on one server, but I want to be able to monitor the heartbeat on the other server, so the monitor will be happy if either the local or the remote heartbeat is less than 15 minutes old. Currently if the one server dies I cannot detect it. Could someone give me a pointer on how to do this? I have read through the documentation and cannot find the equivalent of os.stat for a remote file. Thanks Mick
