Indeed, looking at the C sources for v3.3.3, it seems that `masterfiles/cf_promises_validated` is only touched by functions NewPromiseProposals() and CheckPromises() in `generic_agent.c`. (Plus `bootstrap.c` but that does not count.) These functions are only called by `cf-execd` and `cf-serverd`. Would it be sensible to add a command-line switch to `cf-promises` to force update of `masterfiles/cf_promises_validated` ? _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
