Simon, if you want to act on that file or directory, and there's no certain need to distinguish between a change and a moment of creation, you can place a promise on them and use action => if_repaired for trigger further changes when necessary.
If you want to act on different objects using that file or directory just a trigger (left them unmanaged by Cfengine itself), you either have to use body changes (but it defines the persistent class for any change it catches, so action cannot be specific to the certain file or directory), or you could try setting your own classes based on files checking function calls which return classes (e.g. isnewerthan()). 2010/12/2 Simon Oxwell <simon.oxw...@controlcircle.com> > > > Hi, > > > > I’m looking to solve two related problems and was hoping to be able to > trigger them with classes based on a couple of conditions, but I’ve yet been > able to figure out how to do them.
