Forum: CFEngine Help Subject: Retro CF2 question about purge and ignore Author: neilhwatson Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,26872,26872#msg-26872
This CF2 question was presented to me today. If the purge option is set in a copy action, is the ignore clause supposed to prevent files described in the ignore clause from being deleted? It's been a while but, I recall that there was always confusion about purge, exclude and ignore. The CF2 Reference guide indicates that ignore works as I described above. However, in testing files are show to have been purged. CF2 Ref: "If the purge option is used in copying, then the ignore option has the effect of the excluding files from the purge, i.e. ignore means `keep' the named files." _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
