OCF_HEARTBEAT_VSFTPD(7)

💖 ocf_heartbeat_vsftpd — the manual, but make it a vibe 💖

okay bestie, so this is ocf_heartbeat_vsftpd, and it lives in the OCF resource agents section of your manual pages. yes the one in section 7. we're doing this. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

ocf_heartbeat_vsftpd — literally just Manages an vsftpd. that's the whole job description. icon behavior honestly. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vsftpd [start | stop | monitor | meta-data | validate-all]

that's it, that's the lineup. pick your action, girl. 💅

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so this script manages vsftpd. simple. elegant. she's a resource agent. 🧚

BUT. and this is the part where you need to lean in — there are two things in your vsftpd.conf that HAVE to be right or the whole thing falls apart:

• the parameter background must be set to yes
• setproctitle_enable must be disabled

if either of those is off, the RA cannot work. like, at all. not a little bit broken, not working. no cap. 😭 so go fix your config before you come crying to me, bestie.

---

✨ SUPPORTED PARAMETERS ✨

three little params, all optional, all with defaults so you can just not think about them if you don't want to. 🫶

• binpath — where the vsftpd binary lives. like, for example, "/usr/sbin/vsftpd". (optional, string, default "/usr/sbin/vsftpd")
• conffile — the full path + filename of your vsftpd config file. for example "/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf". (optional, string, default "/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf")
• pidfile — the full path to the vsftpd pidfile. for example "/var/run/vsftpd.pid". (optional, string, default "/var/run/vsftpd.pid")

---

💜 SUPPORTED ACTIONS 💜

this resource agent supports the following actions (operations) — aka the things you can actually do:

• start — starts the resource. suggested minimum timeout: 20s.
• stop — stops the resource. suggested minimum timeout: 20s.
• monitor — performs a detailed status check. suggested minimum timeout: 20s. suggested interval: 60s.
• validate-all — performs a validation of the resource configuration. suggested minimum timeout: 20s.
• meta-data — retrieves resource agent metadata (internal use only). suggested minimum timeout: 5s.

ngl meta-data said internal use only and she MEANT it. that's not for you, babe. that's for the machinery. 🙈

🌈 EXAMPLE CRM SHELL 🌈

here's what a vsftpd resource looks like when you're configuring it with the crm(8) shell:

primitive p_vsftpd ocf:heartbeat:vsftpd \
  op monitor depth="0" timeout="20s" interval="60s"

copy it, paste it, slay it. ⭐

---

🍓 EXAMPLE PCS 🍓

and here's the same thing but you're using pcs(8) instead:

pcs resource create p_vsftpd ocf:heartbeat:vsftpd \
  op monitor OCF_CHECK_LEVEL="0" timeout="20s" interval="60s"

see how it's depth="0" in one and OCF_CHECK_LEVEL="0" in the other? yeah. that's a thing. don't mix them up. 💀
