What if SERVICE is an NFS mount?

[Jun Zhang_4]

If the SERVICE_CMD="mount -F nfs ...", probably the SERVICE_HALT won't work, since there is no process to kill.
How to have such a service, or resource for a package, so that I have a nfs mount done before the main app is run, and the umount command issued when halting the package?

You need to use hanfs:

It uses script nfs.mon as a service to monitor nfs.

you cannot do what you are trying to do using a service. A service is a shell script that runs and monitors for the existence of specific processes runing in order to check that an application can still run safely.
To have NFS then you need to use the HA NFS Toolkit, and use hanfs.

Hi Jun,

You need to use hanfs.

Use the function "customer_defined_run_commands" and "customer_defined_halt_commands" contained by your package control script to mount an unmount your nfs filesystem needed by your application.
