Mike,
Ok, I see, the /etc/classes directory is more of a semaphore mechanism
for emergency external control of how Cfengine will behave on a
particular system without having to actually modify the policy. IMHO,
that's actually an elegant solution to the 3 AM emergency problem,
eliminating a lot of
I looks to me as though getindices expects an array but 'v', passed to the
bundle, is perhaps something else.

I'm curious to know if the cfengine_stdlib.cf name for getindices was
changed or comes from some other include? I did some searching around
but I didn't find anything obvious when I checked.
I'm trying to set up cf3 from scratch to do some basic tasks. I just
need to manage some config files and

Mike,
I definitely want to have a form of documentation around our Cfengine
and overall Unix infrastructure. I plan on using our MOSS server for
just that sort of thing. Wikis, lists, blogs, forums, etc. will be
invaluable in improving our documentation and communications as I

Chris, we would rather get everyone migrating to using Cfengine 3. Only mission

support will be provided for Cfengine 2.

We had the same requirement in our environment, that is, the ability to
purge against a single file copy rule. Attached is a patch file we're
using against 2.2.10 to support this kind of behavior. It works for both
local and server-side copy rules. Just apply the patch to 'src/do.c'.

It is easiest to give your hosts all of the cf-* binaries. You can
purchase prebuilt Cfengine packages from cfengine.com. There are some
unofficial free packages around. I've never used them myself. I usually
build my own but for large deployments that need many different binaries I

Hi,
I am just starting with cfengine and have a few basic questions.
First, a little explanation as to my setup:
I downloaded the latest release ( cfengine-3.0.3.tar.gz) and I have it
working on a single host.
I want to set up that host as a distribution server. I have created the

Just to second the request for more informative error messages. Another one
I've seen (I think it's originating in the stdlib, but without file names/line
numbers it's hard to tell):

Right - this would work fine. Still, it seems an odd omission to have no
counterpart to the getindices() function. Is this intentional?
Thanks,

Do you ever change cf-execd's run schedule? If so, how do you go about
restarting cf-execd? The daemon does not seem to take a HUP signal.
Typically my promises involve ensuring that cf-execd is running. Now I'll
need to come up with something to restart it. How do you do this? Going

Hi,
For modularity reasons, I'd like to use a dynamic slist for inputs, for
example :
body common control {

"update",
"executor",
"monitor",
"server",
"run"
};
inputs => {

Hi,
a similar question to this has been asked before here, but for 3.0.0b and the
proposed solutions do not seem to work for me.
First of all - what is --with-sql for? What do I need these SQL functions for?
Or do I only loose some not so important extra-features? If so - which ones?
