Re: struggling with vrrp_script [SOLVED]

Revisiting an old problem I asked about back in May...

I finally found the problem, after someone viewed the config file in an
editor that wasn't UTF8 capable...
There were non-ascii spaces at the beginning of the "script" line :-(
That caused keepalived to simply skip that line silently (no error
given).

Replacing those non-spaces with a tab solved all my problems.
Those non-spaces may have crept in after cutting & pasting from another
document.

Moral: check your config with cat -v when your config doesn't do what it
should.
