Sorry, I was on holidays and forgot to follow up on this mail Nick answered already most of your question, but i'd like to add that I usually put in promises.cf only promises related to cfengine behavior (which inputs to load, the bundlesequence based on classes, how to restart a component if it needs to be restarted, and so on). It's the skeleton of my system, and then I expand it with other promises files (with hopefully logical names) that are included in the promises.cf Since the sum of all promises can be quite large, i feel it easier to manage that way... but there is more than one way to do it Best regards Nicolas _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
