Forum: CFEngine Help Subject: Re: Define classes if a process is running or not Author: sauer Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,26838,26853#msg-26853
One problem with using two classes is that, if you define two separate classes, you need to have an action body which not only raises one class but lowers the other at the same time. Consider the situation where the process is running on the first pass through the promises, but has stopped on the second pass (or vice-versa). Then you'll have both the running and stopped classes, unless you lower one when raising the other. Ignoring that, you could simply abuse the restart class, and do something like this: processes: "$(process_name)" action => if_ok( "process_up" ), restart_class => "process_down"; I'd still probably write my own version of if_else that also lowers one when it raises the other class, though. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
