Jonathan McKeown:
We had a power failure last night, and this morning I found
that imapproxyd (running on a webserver which provides
webmail) had failed to start because it depends on imapd
(running on the mailserver, a different host), and imapproxyd
had won the startup race.
I need to prevent the race by making one service depend on
another service running remotely. While I sketch out some
horribly untidy fix, can the Lazyweb tell me if there is
already a neat solution for this?
I do not know if this is possible within the rc script itself.
Have you looked into sysutils/monit (to monitor and restart a
service like imapproxyd)? Nagios is probably overkill for this.
Monit can be configured to check whether imapproxyd is running
and restart it if necessary.
Just make sure you do not make the monit rc script depend on
anything running remotely. :-)
