Fair enough. I like this approach very much hence jumped on it straight
away.

That's fine, I don't mind the typos nor the time I wasted finding out
this. I do mind though...

... that it was in the official guide. It is in there, that's where I
picked it up from. 

/usr/share/doc/manual/sles-heartbeat_en/SLES-heartbeat_en.pdf (page 143)

along with the header in the script wording like "obsolete" really made
me feel that I should change. It was the right time for me since I made
some configuration changes to one of my my HASI...

I agree and my wording perhaps was a bit confusing. All I want from an
enterprise class OS is that if something is rock solid in the
notes/docs, etc it should be. If it's experimental than its should be
"marked" or documented accordingly. 

No picking here, I really appreciate the hard work SUSE puts into SLES.
I would never ever have imagined even in my wildest dreams that in SP2
we will get Xen 3.2. ;) I was a little shocked when Joe De Baer
mentioned on a ZOS seminar... And it's just one of the lor I found very
good. 

Thanks for all who responded on this topic promptly, I'll continue with
the LSB o2cb then. 

Regards,
Ivan
