I agree with Brendan.. You could also set ifelapsed to 0 in the promises you don't want to lock, see http://www.cfengine.org/manuals/cf3-reference.html#action-in-_002a.
By the way, the purpose of all databases is described in the manual, http://www.cfengine.org/manuals/cf3-reference.html#Embedded-Databases . No end to the treasures you can find there if you do some digging. :-) The file was moved in svn code, this is due to support for multiple databases (current svn supports berkeley, tokoy cabinet, quick dbm) and thus need for name standardisation. -- Regards, Eystein On 12/16/2009 02:07 AM, Brendan Strejcek wrote: > I believe this file contains the state of ifelapsed for all promises. > You probably should not delete it, unless you know what you are doing. > > You can always run cf-agent or cf-execd with -K if you want to avoid > the locks on a particular run (such as to avoid the default one minute > delay). > > On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 6:32 PM, Jean-Noël Rivasseau<elva...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> 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.
