Cron in Serviceguard without script wrapper

[Alba]

Hello,

I read some threads about how to deal with cron and Serviceguard. I'm actually using a script wrapper in cron that uses cmviewcl command, as it was suggested in previous threads.

But I would like to use another option because there are many packages and cron jobs that are running cmviewcl most of the time.

Do you know an alternative to replace the script wrapper?

Thanks a lot.

Making your systems HA tolerant takes a good bit of planning.

For cron, we found making a master cron and having the same on each node in the cluster helped. Then we implemented, with some minor tweeking, Simon Hargrave's script and this has worked well for us.

But cron is but one part of HA failover tolerance that must be addressed.

Rgrds,
