This is an update to let everyone know this is working well. I set the
retry for every hour so that I could catch the machines that are only on a
few hours a day.
I also set up a ping script that is called before all jobs:
#!/bin/sh
host=`echo $1 | sed -e 's/-fd//'`
ping -c 1 $host
exit $?
The way I made it work was based on the assumption that my Clients had the
names: <name>-fd where the actual host name was <name>. So, in the script
call, I used %c as the argument (Client name) and then in the script, it
strips off the -fd to create a ping-able host name. It would be better if
there was some way to pass the Client's address to the script, but this
works as long as I name all the clients this way.
Many thanks,
Steve
