There's security reason at most and technical reason at least. Doing a file from a template with expanded variables, you put the entire file under control, not just certain lines. This way you minimize the chance for unmanaged lines in a file. Speaking about technical reason, multiple promises produce overhead for locking and relevant reads from/writes to the locking database. Sometimes it might be acceptable, sometimes not. In my environment, there's a lot of concern about Cfengine's disk activity which becomes sometimes too hard for busy production servers, even under ionice -c2. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
