Michael is certainly correct, but the other side of the answer is: why worry about it? Cfengine is designed to be convergent - if you make a change to your masterfiles, your inputs will be updated soon enough.
If you're worried about testing your changes, then the better way to do it is have a sandbox directory, with a copy of all your promises. Do all of your testing there (cf-agent -f ./promises.cf while in the sandbox), and only update masterfiles when you're satisfied the changes are correct (all "inputs" are relative to the promises being executed). -Dan On Oct 27, 2010, at 8:17 AM, Michael Potter wrote: > Generally cf-execd executes cf-agent like this: cf-agent -f failsafe.cf && > cf-agent - the effect being what you described.
