No, you can duplicate elements in a list. It actually works fine in something like I imagine this situation will look for you, where you've going to insert a line into a file, and possibly copy a file (depending on the ssh version). When the same file is processed a second time, it will look like the same promise to CFEngine, and will be skipped because the if_elapsed timer hasn't yet expired. I use that behavior for auto-generating Kerberos keys and for processing SSL certs, where I need the full hostname and short hostname both included; I just include both the name a reverse lookup reports and the name that sys.fqhost returns in the list, and even if they're duplicates, everything still works fine (according to the verbose output and observed behavior). :) _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
