NotifyFailover(8) System Manager's Manual NotifyFailover(8)
NAME
NotifyFailover -- send notification of a failover event
SYNOPSIS
NotifyFailover {up | down} ip_address ...
DESCRIPTION
NotifyFailover sends an email notifcation announcing the availability or
failure of a failover node. NotifyFailover is designed to be invoked by
failoverd(8), not to be used directly.
NotifyFailover is external to failoverd(8) so an administrator could eas-
ily customize notifications to her particular requirements.
The message will be addressed to the recipients defined by the environ-
ment variable, FAILOVER_EMAIL_RECIPIENT, (typically defined in
/etc/hostconfig). If this variable is also undefined, the message will
be sent to "root" on the sending host, a destination little better than
/dev/null!
ENVIRONMENT
FAILOVER_EMAIL_RECIPIENT List of email addressees.
FILES
/usr/libexec/NotifyFailover
DIAGNOSTICS
The NotifyFailover utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
