Hi,
I am having problems getting cfengine to keep promises. I admit that I am
completely new to cfengine and have only been working with it for a few
weeks now. I am using Automating Linux and Unix System Administration,
second edition as my primary reference, with a smattering of other
resources.
You might need to configure the dynamic linker.
# crle
Default configuration file (/var/ld/ld.config) not found
Default Library Path (ELF): /lib:/usr/lib (system default)
Trusted Directories (ELF):/lib/secure:/usr/lib/secure (system default)
Now you can add a new path -- for example

Ah, you're doing it on a per-promise basis. I may do that for specific
promises, but I was wondering if there's any mechanism for having cf-agent send
an alert whenever any promise is repaired. For example (not suggesting this
method, just thinking "out loud") there could be a promise attribute
Something like this:
files:
"${trg}"
perms => m( "${mod}" ),
action => warn_now, # Passive only at this point.
classes => cdefine(
"${trg}_mode_kept",
"${trg}_mode_repaired",
"${trg}_mode_failed"
I certainly understand the possibility of being overwhelmed, and how to
mitigate that, perhaps by controlling which kinds of repairs (for some
definition of "kind") might send such alerts. My biggest concern is just how to
approach this issue. I definitely want to know when systems are fixing th
You can do this. I've done it myself. However, you can overload yourself
with useless alerts. e.g. ALERT: Cfengine doing it's job! Tongue in
cheek to be sure but you get the point. It is however not a bad idea to
log the repair, quietly.

Hi all,
I'm still in my documentation and about to start our pilot phase of a
Nova implementation, but I'm thinking about how to handle certain
aspects of managing a Cfengine environment. One thing I would like to be
able to do would be to create an alerting system any time a promise is
repaire
The documentation seems to suggest that's just for recursion (i.e.
recurse into directories pointed to by symlinks), not copying of
individual files.

I have a case where I need to copy the target of a symlink rather than

As a workaround, I've updated the copy statement to
I've compiled cfengine on solaris with some libs in a custom location.
When I run cf it fails unless I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the custom
libs. Is there a way to build the cf binaries with a built in default
library search path?

Hello list.
I'm trying to keep track of cfengine execution time, in order to monitor
policy changes effect.
The easiest way seems to add start/stop messages in the logs.
If invocating cfagent from a cron task, it's quite simple, but doesn't
allow to discriminate between update and main phase:
Anyone?
