[Linux-ha-dev] A question about SuSE

[Alan Robertson]

Hi Folks,

Maik Lehradt had had a problem with heartbeat not being completely SuSE
compatible when it came to interfacing with external scripts.

Yep.  The code in the CVS repository now recognizes "OK" as a valid
"I own the resource" response.  It also gives OK in it's output when you do
a "heartbeat status" request, and it's up, and No process when it's down.  It
continues to give running and stopped in these same outputs :-)

This should fix Maik's problem.

	Thanks Volker,
