The entirety of the cogent entry in /etc/devd.conf that I am using follows;

notify 0 {
        match "system"          "CARP";
        match "subsystem"       "[0-9]+@";
        match "type"            "(INIT|MASTER|BACKUP)";
#       action "/root/carpcontrol.sh $subsystem $type";
       action "/etc/test_carp.sh $subsystem $type";
};

This differs from the example in "man 4 carp" only by one line. I substitut=
ed the 'action "/etc/test_carp.sh $subsystem $type";' for the line above it=
, as I cannot seem to locate a 'carpcontrol.sh' script anywhere on my 10.0-=
CURRENT test platform. Hence my earlier inquiry as to if it had been protot=
yped anywhere yet. I did locate several CARP related action scripts in /usr=
/share/examples/hast/ but I'm not sure how they different from this ephemer=
al 'carpcontrol.sh' script without seeing it.
