Failed Failover

[Ronald Valente]

Glen,

Here is the log output... not much that I can tell from it that is  
useful...

[ Sep 18 10:05:12 Stopping because service restarting. ]
[ Sep 18 10:05:12 Executing stop method (:kill) ]
[ Sep 18 10:05:12 Executing start method ("/usr/local/sbin/dhcpd -cf / 
opt/local/etc/dhcpd.conf -pf /opt/local/var/run/dhcpd.pid -lf /opt/ 
local/var/db/dhcpd.leases") ]

[ Sep 18 13:28:04 Leaving maintenance because clear requested. ] <- I  
did this.
[ Sep 18 13:28:04 Enabled. ]
[ Sep 18 13:28:04 Executing start method ("/usr/local/sbin/dhcpd -cf / 
opt/local/etc/dhcpd.conf -pf /opt/local/var/run/dhcpd.pid -lf /opt/ 
local/var/db/dhcpd.leases") ]
[ Sep 18 13:28:05 Method "start" exited with status 0 ]

Started and ran fine.
I will look more into it.

Thanks again
