Because it's a good practice, and makes extending the code simpler in the future. While I don't agree with this 100%, there's a saying that production code should should only ever have the numbers "0" and "1" inline. Everything else should be a variable or static macro. -- Jesse Becker NHGRI Linux support (Digicon Contractor) _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
