Depends Question

Hey all, I'm trying to get depends working, but it's not working the way I expect it to.

<bb-hosts snippet> 10.18.16.172 standby # conn testip depends=(conn:eto/conn) 10.18.16.174 eto # conn ssh snmp testip

eto is currently red, but standby, which is down as well, is also red.

anything specific wrong with my depends statement? Any reason why conn wouldn't be able to depend on something else?

Thanks! --Patrick
