It's because readdir() doesn't necessarily read things in alphabetic sort order. So, if the directory entry for 'ip.sh-original' came before 'ip.sh', 'ip.sh-original' would get picked as the provider for the 'ip' resource. However, if you remove a file or two and create new ones, there's a chance that the directory entry might come after 'ip.sh'... making things work! The rule to remember is that we won't use anything in /usr/share/cluster that does not have the execute permissions bit set, so you can create backups in /usr/share/cluster -- just 'chmod -x' them :) The theory for this mode of operation is that we don't have to impose file name extension requirements on users and developers (for example, SAP* have no extensions - they were developed by the open source community)... > I am sorry but I did expect from the cluster to pick up the backup file. ...The downside is that it traps unsuspecting users - such as yourself. :) Maybe we should put a 'README' file in /usr/share/cluster?
