I suspect that not only the promiser is the same but also all of the
promise attributes in that situation.
afaik CFEngine will not execute the same promise again because of the
default lock (5 minutes). You could probably set the action attribute to
if_elapsed("0")
action => if_elapsed("0")
The action body if_elapsed can be found in the COPBL/stdlib.
You might also be able to differentiate them as different promises by
setting a handle attribute on each one.

I am not familiar with cmd_repair, but if you are setting different
classses attributes then they are all distinctly different promises and
I would expect them to execute.
Does that make sense?
Check out this grammatical form diagram.

The promiser and all of the attributes combined comprise a complete
promise. At least thats my understanding, but I have been wrong before
