The cfserve's repository is manage through a git repository so I decided to drop execresult and replace it with a git filter which runs m4 on the input files to generate the list of files to include. There's no need to submit the code example in this case. The number of proceses dropped from 60 to to 5 by remove 2 execresult calls. The first execresult forked 1 process and the second forked 2 processes one of them a shell. Since cfengine did multiple evaluations of execresult this multipled to 54 processes being created instead of just 3. > I suspect strace itself reports differently on > different kernels. Actually it doesn't. strace lists the system calls of a program. The system calls were hardcoded within the executable at compile time. Most of them originate from using functions of the standard library or unix functions like stat(). _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
