It's a tad more limited, though, in that you have either a 1/12 chance or a 1/24 chance, depending if you do the hourly or daily method. I'm assuming 24 for daily; I've only used hourly. It's entirely possible that you could go for days without selectclass matching, given that it's way more likely for it to not match. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
