I solved my problem by making some hacktacular LSB script called "proxyres".
When I run a "service proxyres start", it SSHes and runs those restart commands on the Proxy. "service proxyres stop" simply exits with 0 and service proxyres status will netcat a port, 0 success 3 for failure. It works..But hopefully there is a better method. Here is what it looks like just for fun: ###### [root@mail-2 ~] cat /etc/init.d/proxyres #!/bin/bash # Restart the gosh darn Proxy LSB script # chkconfig: 2345 80 05 # description: RTGDP Script # RTGDP service controller script case "$1" in start) ssh -i "/root/.ssh/proxy_identity" proxy_user@10.199.0.125 'service mta restart' ;; stop) exit 0 ;; status) if nc -vz 10.199.0.125 443 > /dev/null then echo "Server is up" true else echo "Server is down" exit 3 fi ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status}" exit 1 ;; esac exit 0 ###### Thanks, Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Monette" <mmone...@2keys.ca> To: "The Pacemaker cluster resource manager" <pacemaker@oss.clusterlabs.org> Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2014 10:15:56 AM Subject: [Pacemaker] Running remote SSH commands on another server? Hello, I am coming up short in my searches, but I don't know exactly what I am searching for, hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I have Pacemaker setup in active/passive on my Email server. The systems are in sync using DRBD. When there is a failure on node-1, everything fails over to node-2 and vice versa. Everything actually works great. I have the mail servers sitting behind a proxy, which is also the MTA. The problem is, whenever the mailstores failover, there is a persistent connection going from the Proxy -> Mailstore that breaks, and any incoming/outgoing mail cannot be delivered even though the email server is back up. To fix this, I need to SSH into the proxy and restart the proxy services to re-establish that persistent connection. Is there any way to include this as part of the failover in PaceMaker? Something like: <**Failure occured on mail-1**> mount DRBD resources on mail-2 Assign the failover-ip to mail-2 Start the email server on mail-2 SSH into the proxy and restart the proxy service (From mail-2 using keys) I am researching ways within the application itself to fix this problem, but no luck yet.
