I'm still struggling to get the expected behaviour from the below bundle. What's odd is if I match for the "nodevs" line in mlocate.cron, specifying "after" for the "before_after" field, I get the exit 0 statement inserted in the correct location. If I change "before_after" to "before", I get the exit 0 statement appended to the end of the file, several lines below the supposed match line. This is the reverse of the behaviour I documented below!
Neither 3.0.3 or 3.0.4p2 on CentOS 5.4 x64 work as expected. Mark - which version of CFEngine and what operating environment did you manage to get this working correctly in?
