Need linux 2.6 source on the
machine to compile it.
Donÿÿt want to mess with the
kernel anyway ÿÿ keep it easy for someone else to duplicate.
Any other ideas are gladly
appreciated!

Is there documentation for setting up a High Availability
(HA) pair of servers for xymon?
I have a Dell R-series server (new) and a Dell 1850 server
that I can use.
I have created a SCRIPT and RSYNC between the two servers
that the 1850 watches the R-series.
If the R-series fails to answer, the 1850 will then get the
files from the RSYNC directory (edit a few items), install the
hobbit-alerts.cfg file and take over the primary responsibilities of alerting.
Both systems currently have to watch over all devices ÿÿ not
efficient.
I copy over the files from each server every hour ÿÿ thus
also having a backup of each servers special files.

HA is the appropriate solution, is it possible?  Is there
a write-up on how to set it up?

Thanks,
