what exact --dry-run option do on cf-execd
NAME
cf-execd - cfengine's execution agent
SYNOPSIS:
cf-execd
DESCRIPTION:
The executor daemon is a scheduler and wrapper for execution of
cf-agent. It collects the output of
the agent and can email it to a specified address. It can splay the
start time of executions across
the network and work as a class-based clock for scheduling. cfengine is
a self-healing configuration
and change management based system. You can think of.B cfengine as a
very high level language, much
higher level than Perl or shell. Asingle statement is called a promise,
and compliance can result in
many hundreds of filesbeing created, or the permissions of many hundreds
offiles being set. The idea
of .B cfengine is to create a one or more sets of configuration files
which willclassify and describe
the setup of every host in a network.
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS:
--help, -h
Print the help message
--debug, -d
Set debugging level 0,1,2,3
--verbose, -v

--dry-run, -n

I know for cf-agent it is run but do nothing . but not sure what the one on
cf-execd do ? if I understood correct cf-execd is schedular for cf-agent
so will --dry-run passed as parameter to cf-agenteverytime it will call
cf-agent ?
