A promise is not procedural. It is a general statement that Cfengine will try to keep. For instance 'promise that file /etc/ssh/sshd_config has mode 644'. You don't say 'chmod 644 /etc/sshd/sshd_config' instead you describe the end state and let Cfengine keep that promise in its own way. 'rvalue' I believe refers to the right hand side of a statement. For example, in "x" string => "Hello World" The rvalue is "Hello World". A host that the agent runs on is either a member of a class or it is not. Thus this is a boolean. You might try looking at the tutorial's both the official and mine before you tackle the reference manual. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
