Implementing Manager Fault Tolerance for Windows

The following figure illustrates how to activate manager fault tolerance. A unique command id is always required for manager fault tolerance.

ucmd -script script.file -host dallas -encryptedfile encrypted.file 
     -managerft yes -cmdid uniquejobname -restart auto

The command is sent to a remote system, dallas, for execution. The output of the script is redirected back to the UCMD process. Additional command line options are read from the encrypted file, encrypted.file. Manager fault tolerance is turned on. A unique command ID, uniquejobname, is coded to identify the process.

Restart is detected automatically. If an executing or pending command ID exists, a reconnect is performed. If not, the process is started as if new.

Command Line Options

The command line options used in this example are:

Options	Description
-script	File from which to read a script file. The script file is sent to the remote system for execution.
-host	Directs the command to a computer with a host name of dallas.
-encryptedfile	File from which to read an encrypted command options file.
