Thanks for the reply ,<br>
<br>
Unfortunately for me, it appears that "route" only affects ping (
"conn" ) tests. So, I can't use route for the ssh checks, and I can't
make the ssh test depend on another host's conn test. I could setup a
yahoo www test, and try to use that as a dependency, hopefully that
works. <br>
<br>
thanks<br>

<div>I have never been able to get depends to work. You should use
the 'route' tag on the host to have a dependency, such as:</div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="http://1.1.1.1">1.1.1.1</a> foo</div>
<div><a href="http://2.2.2.2">2.2.2.2</a> bar # ssh noconn route:foo</div>
<div> </div>
<div>or more hops:</div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="http://1.1.1.1">1.1.1.1</a> foo</div>
<div><a href="http://2.2.2.2">2.2.2.2</a> bar # ssh noconn
route:router1,vpnrouter,vpnrouter2</div>
<div><a href="http://3.3.3.3">3.3.3.3</a> router1</div>
<div><a href="http://4.4.4.4">4.4.4.4</a> vpnrouter</div>
<div><a href="http://5.5.5.5">5.5.5.5</a> vpnrouter2<br>
</div>
<div>This would assume the environment is like this: (hobbitserver
and foo) > router1 > vpnrouter > vpnrouter2 > bar<br>
</div>

<div>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 href="http://www.yahoo.com/">www.yahoo.com</a>
as a host and added depends=(ssh:<a href="http://www.yahoo.com/conn">
www.yahoo.com/conn</a>) 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>

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