You can use sysConnect() and use the "redu" event. If redu change the callback will called

Thank you kilianvp, I used this function and have seen results but it helps only understanding changing of servers. After this point I want to stop a manager/script.

Found on help as "stopManager()" but I can not run it.

if you call exit() inside the manager it will stop. But don't forget to set the startmodus to manual.

Why do you need to restart a control manager after a redundancy switch over?

[denisisakovic]

I think you don't need to worry about that, when the server activity switches between ACTIVE and PASSIVE servers, the event manager ignores activities (dpset and so on) from the script that is running on the new PASSIVE server.

If the start mode is "manual" the manager will not restart automatically.
As written in the previous post a message to modify a datapoint/alert instance will be discrarded by the passive Event Manager.
An exception are all DP elements which are defined using the fwdDp/fwdDpType entries.

Because I have a control manager (written by another programmer) that need to restart for work correctly. I can not change anything inside of script.

Thank you again everyone.
