omshell Script for partner-down mode

[Glenn Satchell]

There's a couple of things not quite right, but you have most if it.

This is from includes/failover.h - partner-down is state = 4.

/* A failover peer's running state. */
enum failover_state {
         unknown_state                   =  0, /* XXX: Not a standard 
state. */
         startup                         =  1,
         normal                          =  2,
         communications_interrupted      =  3,
         partner_down                    =  4,

keyname is the name of the key from the omapi key statement in dhcpd.conf.

failover name is the name of the failover pair from the failover peer 
statement in dhcpd.conf.

You should open the object before setting any attributes.

Also you have a space in your number you are setting.

So, updating your script you need something like this:

#!/bin/sh
# set local server into partner-down mode
omshell << EOF
server localhost
key keyname *<super-duper-secret key here>*
connect
new failover-state
set name = "failovername"
open
set local-state = 4
update
EOF
