Thanks for the reply ,
Unfortunately for me, it appears that "route" only affects ping ( "conn" ) tests. So, I can't use route for the ssh checks, and I can't make the ssh test depend on another host's conn test. I could setup a yahoo www test, and try to use that as a dependency, hopefully that works.
thanks

I have never been able to get depends to work. You should use the 'route' tag on the host to have a dependency, such as:
1.1.1.1 <http://1.1.1.1> foo 2.2.2.2 <http://2.2.2.2> bar # ssh noconn route:foo
or more hops:
1.1.1.1 <http://1.1.1.1> foo 2.2.2.2 <http://2.2.2.2> bar # ssh noconn route:router1,vpnrouter,vpnrouter2 3.3.3.3 <http://3.3.3.3> router1 4.4.4.4 <http://4.4.4.4> vpnrouter 5.5.5.5 <http://5.5.5.5> vpnrouter2
This would assume the environment is like this: (hobbitserver and foo) > router1 > vpnrouter > vpnrouter2 > bar

Hi, I've looked up the list archive and there doesn't seem to be any answer to this problem, the "depends" doesn't work with the "conn" test. I have a bunch of remote kiosks connected via vpn and other means. Some I can ping and some I can't. I can always ssh to them, therefore ssh is the main connectivity test for all them. I'm trying make those test dependent on our internet connection. In my bb-hosts file, I've added www.yahoo.com <http://www.yahoo.com/> as a host and added depends=(ssh: www.yahoo.com/conn <http://www.yahoo.com/conn>) to the kiosk machine definition in the bb-hosts file. In order to test that, I setup hosts foo and bar in my lab, defined the,as follow: x.x.x.x foo x.x.x.x bar # ssh noconn depends=(ssh:foor/conn) I unplug foo and bar's network cable, and sometimes later I get a page regarding the ssh on bar interestingly, bar's ssh test history shows this: Tue Oct 09 16:43:25 2007 red <http://lisa.wdi-net.com/hobbit-cgi/bb-histlog.sh?HOST=daim01&SERVICE=ssh&TIMEBUF=Tue_Oct_9_16:43:25_2007>0:00:43 Tue Oct 09 16:43:15 2007 clear <http://lisa.wdi-net.com/hobbit-cgi/bb-histlog.sh?HOST=daim01&SERVICE=ssh&TIMEBUF=Tue_Oct_9_16:43:15_2007>0:00:10 Tue Oct 09 16:38:20 2007 red <http://lisa.wdi-net.com/hobbit-cgi/bb-histlog.sh?HOST=daim01&SERVICE=ssh&TIMEBUF=Tue_Oct_9_16:38:20_2007>0:04:55 Tue Oct 09 16:38:15 2007 clear <http://lisa.wdi-net.com/hobbit-cgi/bb-histlog.sh?HOST=daim01&SERVICE=ssh&TIMEBUF=Tue_Oct_9_16:38:15_2007>0:00:05 Tue Oct 09 16:34:16 2007 red <http://lisa.wdi-net.com/hobbit-cgi/bb-histlog.sh?HOST=daim01&SERVICE=ssh&TIMEBUF=Tue_Oct_9_16:34:16_2007>0:03:59 Tue Oct 09 16:33:15 2007 clear <http://lisa.wdi-net.com/hobbit-cgi/bb-histlog.sh?HOST=daim01&SERVICE=ssh&TIMEBUF=Tue_Oct_9_16:33:15_2007>0:01:01 Tue Oct 09 16:29:07 2007 red <http://lisa.wdi-net.com/hobbit-cgi/bb-histlog.sh?HOST=daim01&SERVICE=ssh&TIMEBUF=Tue_Oct_9_16:29:07_2007>0:04:08 Tue Oct 09 16:28:12 2007 clear <http://lisa.wdi-net.com/hobbit-cgi/bb-histlog.sh?HOST=daim01&SERVICE=ssh&TIMEBUF=Tue_Oct_9_16:28:12_2007>0:00:55 Tue Oct 09 15:55:20 2007 green <http://lisa.wdi-net.com/hobbit-cgi/bb-histlog.sh?HOST=daim01&SERVICE=ssh&TIMEBUF=Tue_Oct_9_15:55:20_2007>0:32:52 Anyone using the conn test as a dependency out there ? Can anyone confirm that is does or does NOT work ? Thanks -Dan-- 'If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions.' --Sam Jackson
