You could maybe say "tool that will tell me when a service goes down" or whatever it is they do, instead of giving the link to the website. I found the website to involve a lot of reading before I would understand the software well enough to recommend an alternative. Beyond that, there is some mystical, magical timing involved. As someone else stated, different people monitor the list at different times. Sometimes you just post a message at a bad time. Never be afraid to post 3 or 4 times, just don't do it in rapid succession. Sometimes a message posted during the week will yeild no responses, but will get buried under replies if posted during the weekend. And sometimes the question just isn't easily answered. Never be upset if someone sends you a link to a website or a RTFM to a man page. Questions like "how do I set up my firewall" are best handled in this manner, while questions like "how do I block UDP traffic with my firewall" might get more direct answers. As an answer to your actual question, a slow, and time-consuming search of the "sysutils" and/or "net" part of the ports tree may be beneficial. Sometimes you just have to take some time to do the research (there's a LOT of ports out there!) I also seem to remember an article on how to do this posted on rootprompt.org, but I can't find the friggin thing now or I'd give you a direct link. -Bill > > >Here comes my question once more: > >Does FreeBSD have something like heartbeat and mon, or something else >I can use for High Availability like it is described on >http://www.linux-ha.org/ ? > >I have searched the ports for heartbeat and mon, but no results. > >-- >Med venlig hilsen/Best regards, > Søren Neigaard mailto:neigaard@e-box.dk >-- > "First we thought the PC was a calculator.
