Hi list,

  I'm trying to setup ifstated to check two links and if some go down, do
some actions like change pf rules and machine's route.

  My doubt is about the execution order/repetition of the states body of
ifstated.conf, in all configs that I tried just the last check is executed
always, follow and example:

ifstated.conf:
==============================
loglevel debug

ping1 = '( "ping -q -c 1 -t 3 www.site1.com > /dev/null" every 10 ) '
ping2 = '( "ping -q -c 1 -t 3 www.site2.com > /dev/null" every 10 ) '

state one {
        if ! ( $ping1 && $ping2 ) {
                set-state two
        }
}

state two {

        init {
                run "logger -p console.notice -t ifstated 'Restarting
network !'"
        }

        if ( $ping && $ping2 ) {
                set-state one
        }
}

==============================

# ifstated -dv
ping1 = "( "ping -q -c 1 -t 3 www.site1.com > /dev/null" every 10 ) "
ping2 = "( "ping -q -c 1 -t 3 www.site2.com > /dev/null" every 10 ) "
ifstated: initial state: one
ifstated: changing state to one
ifstated: running ping -q -c 1 -t 3 www.site1.com > /dev/null
ifstated: running ping -q -c 1 -t 3 www.site2.com > /dev/null
ifstated: started
ifstated: changing state to two
ifstated: running ping -q -c 1 -t 3 www.site1.com > /dev/null
ifstated: running ping -q -c 1 -t 3 www.site2.com > /dev/null
ifstated: running ping -q -c 1 -t 3 www.site2.com > /dev/null
ifstated: running ping -q -c 1 -t 3 www.site2.com > /dev/null


As you can see, after change state ifstated execute only the *last* check
command of the statement (ping2) forever....

This is the expected behavior ?

I'm running 6-STABLE + ifstated-20050505 (instaled via
/usr/ports/net/ifstated)

Thanks for any help.

Alexandre
