I was referring to passes within a single cf-agent run. During each run, cf-agent makes three passes over each bundle, evaluating the promises in normal order, to help achieve convergence. So the two passes you mention occur every time cf-agent runs, and they happen immediately one after the other. This is described here: https://cfengine.com/manuals/cf3-Reference#Agent-normal-ordering What "atomically" means in file-editing operations is that the file is not written back to disk until the edit_line bundle finishes executing, and only if there were any changes to the file. So what is actually happening is: - CFEngine reads the file into memory - edit_line bundle adds, removes, edits, etc. All of this occurs in the in-memory copy of the file. - CFEngine compares the result to the original contents of the file. If there were any changes, the file is written back to disk. Because of this, you will never find a file on disk that is halfway through being edited by an edit_line bundle. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
