Hi, in 3.0.2 this file was present in the cfengine direct folder as cfengine_lock_db, but it seems to have moved to state/cf_lock.db in SVN trunk.
I don't know exactly the purposes of that file; I know only that it somehow prevents cf-execd to start if the last cf-execd instance was started less than one minute ago. I don't need this feature and it actually bothered me, so in my startup script I just check for the presence of this file, and if it's there, I just delete it. I was wondering if it was a bad thing to do, and if it could have other implications, notably on a running cf-agent? What exactly does this lock file contain? Jean-Noel
