I understand what your goal is. I am sure that can be done with CFEngine. The first thing you need to do is break down the problem. If you were to log into a server check which updates were available and install them excluding the kernel packages what specifically would you do? You need to understand the specifics of what it is you need to do so that you can construct the necessary promises. For example if you log into your redhat box and run "Check which updates are available" you will likely get back a command not found error. Figure out the specifics of how you would accomplish this manually first, understand the steps involved, then you will be equipped to start constructing promises. -- Nick Anderson <n...@cmdln.org> _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
