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

Subject: [hobbit] TS - Is there a setup for an HA pair of servers
 
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 â not
efficient.
I copy over the files from each server every hour â 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,
