------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) I suspect the root cause maybe: we only wait 5 seconds before we check standby running status, this interval is too small. Could you please firstly change the standby running status check interval from 5 seconds to a loop like recovery running status check on master?

(2) If the error 'syncmaster not running' will lead to init failure, we should change from [WARNING] to [ERROR].
