If you have two rules and they must both be satisfied, it sure seems like you want an "and" between them. :) Our buddy DeMorgan would like me to take this time to remind everyone that "not a and not b" is the same as "not (a or b)", and that "not a or not b" is the same as "not (a and b)". So, when you use an "or" in there, you're only deselecting things where both rules match. You want to deselect things where either rule matches, and thus, either !(a|b) or !a&!b. Or, with less math: You're selecting all files which aren't named heapdump. That .gz file is not named heapdump, so the path part of the expression doesn't matter (back to math: "true or 'anything'" is always true). _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
