NotifyFailover(8)                          System Manager's Manual                         NotifyFailover(8)

NAME
     NotifyFailover -- send notification of a failover event

SYNOPSIS
     NotifyFailover {up | down} ip_address ...

DESCRIPTION
     NotifyFailover sends an email notifcation announcing the availability or failure of a failover node.
     NotifyFailover is designed to be invoked by failoverd(8), not to be used directly.

     NotifyFailover is external to failoverd(8) so an administrator could easily customize notifications to
     her particular requirements.

     The message will be addressed to the recipients defined by the environment variable,
     FAILOVER_EMAIL_RECIPIENT, (typically defined in /etc/hostconfig).  If this variable is also undefined,
     the message will be sent to "root" on the sending host, a destination little better than /dev/null!

ENVIRONMENT
     FAILOVER_EMAIL_RECIPIENT  List of email addressees.

FILES
     /usr/libexec/NotifyFailover

DIAGNOSTICS
     The NotifyFailover utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO
