Hello, 

I am trying to execute a command on the Linux CLI using a similar method in the 
documentation:


bundle agent example

{
commands:

  "/bin/sleep 10"
     action  => background;

  "/bin/sleep"
     args => "20",
     action  => background;

}


But I am getting this in my cfengine output. The process runs successfully, but 
I would like CFengine to not wait for execution :

body "background()" was undeclared, but used in a promise near line 11 of 
/var/cfengine3/inputs/inventory.cf

Here is my inventory.cf:


#######################
# System Inventory
#######################

bundle agent inventory
{

commands:
   any::
      "/usr/local/ibAdmin/bin/update_cfengine_inventory"
         comment => "Updating the inventory database on infra01",
         action => background;

}
