Vmware server 2.0 resource agent

Hi, I wrote an OCF RA to manage virtual machines in a cluster of nodes
running Vmware server 2.0 (RC1). It's still a bit primivtive and I'm not
that good at bash scripting but it works well.
Modifing the script to work with Vmware server 1.0x should be quite easy.

Is this the right place to post it or I should move to
linux-ha[at]lists.linux-ha.org?

Thanks for your time

Re: Vmware server 2.0 resource agent [In reply to]

To cover ourselves legally, I think we need a short note from your
boss saying that your company is knows and is fine with you submitting
this.
And possibly one from you saying that it's not a derivative work (ie.
you're not infringing on someone else's copyright)

Annoying but necessary :(

No problem and sorry for the wait. The script IS NOT derivative work. I
studied carefully the official vmware init script to understand their usage
of the vmware-vim-sh and vmware-vim-cmd commands... Anyway i didn't rip a
single line from the init script.

And about my boss and my company I don't think he should get involved in
this since I mostly wrote the script in my spare time.
