The use of "PS1" is definitely a better way to go, especially if you have a mixed environment. For example, the output of "b failover" on an 6800 running 9.3.1:

 

 

b failover

 

FAILOVER standby for 3 days 22:37:17

 

 

versus an 8800 running 9.4.3:

 

 

b failover

 

FAILOVER

 

 

Using "PS1" makes your cron job a little more portable.

 

 

Of course this would be a moot point if "auto sync" was incorporated....I seem to remember a post in the iControl9.x forum back in 2005 about that coming in the "next" release.....
