Not exactly. In case a prerequisite is missing (such as, say, the
pgctl program), the monitor and stop operations should not report
error but that the resource is stopped. The reason for all this
is that the RA should succeed on stop and return stopped (rc 7)
in case the software is not installed. That's common in case the
software is installed on a shared storage, but not on a clustered
filesystem. Or in case some nodes are never meant to run some
resource. See for example the apache or db2 or oracle resource
agents.

Thanks,

Dejan
