LDM RHEL Binary RPM, spec & ldmd init script

Hi folks,

1. Looking for an LDM RHEL-4+ RPM binary or rpm.spec files? If not, I may be interested in building one for i386 (advice welcome). 2. Does anyone have a ldmd init script for RHEL that can support some of the advanced RH Linux features listed below (chkconfig, service, PID files & locks). 3. Are there any other gotchas (like syslog) running LDM at Boot as a service?

I was following the linux-HA Cluster thread & noticed there are some LDM Docs referencing clusters, but most are geared toward Hi-Performance Clusters, not Hi-Availability (HA) Clusters. Some configs & principles (IP Virtual Server) may translate though. For HA clusters, LDM can be started & stopped via init-scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d or /etc/ha.d/haresources as Richard noted.

LDM at Boot - Init Scripts (this should be included in the ldm-binary.rpm specific to RHELvX)

Comparing it to a simple init script like /etc/rc.d/init.d/atd & we may be able to improve it some & use RHEL service commands, locks & pstools (pgrep, pkill...) to manage the service like:
# chkconfig --level 345 ldmd on
# service ldmd restart
# service ldmd status

# head /etc/rc.d/init.d/atd | grep chkconfig
# chkconfig: 345 95 5
Note: the chkconfig: line determines runlevels & the priority of kill and start scripts (man chkconfig)

# service crond status
crond (pid 1117) is running...
# cat /var/run/crond.pid
1117
# ls -l /var/lock/subsys/crond
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 5 17:26 /var/lock/subsys/crond

This may help shutdown & restart the ldmd safely during failover in an HA cluster.
