Any standard output from an external script will be interpreted as a positive response for the member state, so the case (or the content) of the "up" message shouldn't matter.

 

 

It might help to log debug messages to a log file. Here are some quick notes for adding debug to a shell script with both standard error and standard out being redirected to the log file.

 

 

Based on info from: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/io-redirection.html

 

 

DEBUG='1'

 

LOGFILE="/var/log/${0}.log"

 

 

If debug is enabled, log the date to a log file. Redirect standard error and out to the log file.

 

if [ ${DEBUG} -eq 1 ]; then echo "`date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"`: Debug enabled" >> ${LOGFILE} 2>&1; fi
