From analysis of a simple ifstated.conf to more compex example

[peter knezel]

Hello Damien,

I did read your example but cannot get idea from it.
For three interfaces you have much more possibilities.

Imagine you start the server from uuu state which is equal to
net = '( "ifconfig -a -u |grep carp0 > /dev/null" every 3 && "ifconfig -a -u
|grep carp1 > /dev/null" every 3 && "ifconfig -a -u |grep carp2 > /dev/null"
every 3)'

Now you put down one carp interface - so system is in state :
*state one:*
(duu) || (udu) || (uud) <----which is same as !$net
run script1.sh
go to twoff

now imagine, you put down any other carp interface:
*state twoff: *
(dud) || (ddu) || (udd)
run script2.sh
go to two

*state two: *
put all interfaces up
run script3.sh
go to state one

it means, this is one of the possibilities system can behave (this
situation does not describe all possible states - I have taken this
special example.)

Now if you want to put up after putting down one carp interface, you fail
since it is in state twoff.
Only of you put down second carp interface it goes to state two and if you
put both up, it will go to state one.

This is where my ifstated.conf fails to work.

Kind regards,

Peter Knezel
