The <script...> resource agent is designed for init.d (like) scripts. 
The agent will pass start, stop and status to that script and will look 
at the exit code to determine success/failure. There is a drbd specific 
resource agent, called 'drbd'. It can handle promoting a node's DRBD 
resource to primary when needed and other such actions.

As an aside, are you using actual fencing? Without it, you will find 
that the cluster locks up when you test fail over.
