WACKAMOLE(8) User Manuals WACKAMOLE(8) NAME wackamole - IP-failover high-availability tool SYNOPSIS wackamole [-v] [-c config_file ] [ -s spread ] [-u user ] [ -d ] DESCRIPTION wackamole runs the Wackamole IP-failover HA tool using the wackamole.conf file as a base configuration. OPTIONS -v Display version information and exit. -d Turn on debugging and do not daemonize. -u userInstruct wackamole to use user instread of Wack<pid> as it's user- name when connecting to Spread. -s spread_loc Connect to Spread running at spread_loc -c config-file Use an alternate configuration file config-file instead of wack- amole.conf. FILES wackamole.conf The default config file location is dependant on the install prefix. ./wackamole.conf is also searched if a local file is not found. DIAGNOSTICS By default, Wackamole will log any errors to syslog. Check the appropriate log desitnation on your platform. BUGS Linux Wackamole makes extensive use of ioctl()s on network devices. When dropping and interface such as eth0:4, all subsequent interfaces (eth0:5, etc.) will disappear and no longer function. There has been special code added that causes Wackamole on Linux to iterate through all IP addresses after a balancing round and attempt to re- plumb them. This may cause gratuitous entries to syslog as well as extra unsolicited ARP responses. SolarisSolaris' local arp-cache is, as far as the author is aware, com- pletely undocumented. The code in Wackamole to open /dev/ip and at- tempt to read the ARP cache was written only by looking at the out- put of truss arp -an and should be considered a "stab in the dark."
