I think the reason to call failsafe separately is to decrease the chances that an error in the policy prevent the policy update from happening. If you only run cf-agent normally a syntax error in your promises.cf may prevent the policy from updating without manual intervention. -- Nick Anderson <n...@cmdln.org> _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
