[Cluster-devel] [PATCH 2/2] rgmanager: Avoid duplicate restart of service (RHEL5)

[Lon Hohberger <lhh@redhat.com>]

If B depends on A and both A and B are running on
node 1 and node 1 fails, the stop events generated
will inadvertently cause B to be restarted after
the initial failover.

This patch resolves this issue by comparing the
start times in central_processing mode.

A known limitation to this patch is that in order
for this patch to work correctly, the cluster nodes'
time must be approximately in sync.

Resolves: rhbz#743214
