Chris-
I agree with Seva about hard classes. But this makes me ask: why are you so
erratically validating your promises? Why not every 5 minutes, which is the
default? Cfengine is lightweight, and does not load your system. But if you
have "expensive" promises, just change the "if_elapsed" value for those
specific promises...
Here's what I have for my machines:
body executor control
{
ns|fit_pc::
# Use restricted schedule on slow processors
schedule => { "Min00", "Min15", "Min30", "Min45" };
!(ns|fit_fc)::
# Use default schedule on faster processors
schedule => { "Min00", "Min05", "Min10", "Min15", "Min20", "Min25",
"Min30", "Min35", "Min40", "Min45", "Min50", "Min55" };
}
I never notice Cfengine is running, and I track my load averages with Cricket...
