Thanks, Mark. I actually thought about doing that and that's one of the things led me to notice that Cfengine restarts itself at 5 AM in process_matching.cf. However, since by default the process_matching bundle is evaluated before any of my custom bundles and in general it's not a good idea to mess with update.cf, I'd need to implement my own bundle.
So would it make sense just to essentially duplicate the cf_components variable and restart_cf processes promise from process_matching.cf? And is there a reason this "normal thing" wasn't included in update.cf? I just want to make sure I am not missing something in the logic.
