HP Serviceguard Version A.11.18 Release Notes, September 2008

If more than one external_script is specified, the scripts will be executed on package
startup in the order they are entered into this file, and in the reverse order during
package shutdown.
HP supplies a template for external scripts: $SGCONF/examples/
external_script.template.
For more information, see “About External Scripts” in Chapter 4 of Managing
Serviceguard, and the comments in the package configuration file.
Legacy and Modular Package-Configuration Parameters
There are some differences between the parameters used by modular packages and
the legacy parameters. Legacy parameters are still supported, but, as the following
tables show, some appear under different names in modular packages, and in a few
cases a legacy parameter has no modular equivalent (these are shown in bold).
An asterisk in the table indicates that the formal requirements for the parameter value
have changed (in terms of what characters are permitted, etc.). See “Parameters whose
Formal Requirements Have Changed” (page 37).
