This may be wildly oversimplified, but this has been my assumption of what the states should mean: Kept: Cfengine didn't need to do anything Repaired: Cfengine did something (copied a file, started a process, generated a report, set a class, etc) Broken: Cfengine should have done something but couldn't, or what it tried to do failed But I agree, some simple and clear documentation is always best. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
