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 wack- amole.conf file as a base configuration. OPTIONS -v Display version information and exit. -d Turn on debugging and do not daemonize. -u user Instruct wackamole to use user instread of Wack<pid> as it's username 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 appro- priate 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 in- terfaces (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. Solaris Solaris' local arp-cache is, as far as the author is aware, com- pletely undocumented. The code in Wackamole to open /dev/ip and attempt to read the ARP cache was written only by looking at the output of truss arp -an and should be considered a "stab in the dark."
