Tom,

Unfortunately the depends directive isn't functioning as documented. Take a look at the router directive instead.  It isn't quite as flexible, but should work in your case.

Hi,

I am having a problem getting dependencies working. According to the bb-hosts
man page I should be able to do something like the following:

depends=(conn:cr-sw-510-01/conn)

If I understand the man page correctly the above should say that for the
current host the connection service depends on being able to connect to
the cr-sw-510-01. IOW we should be able to ping the cr-sw-510-01 device.

The problem is that if I do the above, I still get the connections turning
red and as a result all of the alerts that go with it.

Can someone please tell me what I am missing?

Regards,
