Hi, <br>
<br>
I've looked up the list archive and there doesn't seem to be any
answer to this problem, the "depends" doesn't work with the "conn" test.<br>
<br>
I have a bunch of remote kiosks connected via vpn and other means.
Some I can ping and some I can't. I can always ssh to them, therefore
ssh is the main connectivity test for all them.<br>
<br>
I'm trying make those test dependent on our internet connection.<br>
<br>
In my bb-hosts file, I've added <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.yahoo.com">www.yahoo.com</a> as a host and added
depends=(ssh:www.yahoo.com/conn) to the kiosk machine definition in
the bb-hosts file.<br>
<br>
In order to test that, I setup hosts foo and bar in my lab, defined
the,as follow:<br>
<br>
x.x.x.x foo<br>
x.x.x.x bar # ssh noconn depends=(ssh:foor/conn)<br>
<br>
<br>
I unplug foo and bar's network cable, and sometimes later I get a page
regarding the ssh on bar <br>
<br>
interestingly, bar's ssh test history shows this:<br>

<br>
Anyone using the conn test as a dependency out there ? Can anyone
confirm that is does or does NOT work ?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
