We have a number of servers in our office (RHEL 4 U6) and we don't have
a UPS. The problem is that when there is a power failure, some of the
servers fail to acquire the NIS bind, and ypbind exits. I can certainly
write a cron script to test if ypbind is running, and if not restart it,
but I would like to be able to have the ypbind daemon wait or retry. The
problem is one of timing:
Sep 4 06:29:00 asystem ypbind: Setting NIS domain name ypXXX:
succeeded
Sep 4 06:29:01 asystem ypbind: ypbind startup succeeded
Sep 4 06:29:24 asystem rpc.statd[20919]: Can't notify xx.xx.xx.xx,
giving up.
Sep 4 06:29:58 asystem ypbind: ypbind shutdown succeeded
Sep 4 06:29:58 asystem ypbind: attempting to contact yp server failed
