RE: {bb} failover for bigbrother ?

This sounds good but where do I get the failover script?

Oliver -

I have a 'standby' BB setup that seems to work as planned.

On the standby system -- install BB as both client and server; get the web
server and BB configured and talking to each other. 

Once the basic config is up and running, add the 'failover' script to the
bb-bbexttab on the failover machine only. Update the bb-hosts on all client
machines to add BBDISPLAY and BBPAGER entries for the failover system as
well as the primary BB system. Replicate your production bb-hosts file to
the failover system any time you make changes to it.

I have the same install on my failover as my primary (including larrd) so
that the displays match.

And I'm sure there are other ways to set it up, but this worked for me. At
one point I had an IBM rs/6000 (43P) running as failover for the primary
running on a Dell 4300 with SuSE 8.2.
