If someone manually updated crontab or some other scripts updated crontab
between
"Editing the file" and “last step installing new crontab”,
the crontab will be overwritten, something will definately lost. This is a race

Apologies if I'm a bit late to the party on this subject, but how do you
reference a specific sub-element of an slist that is a value part of an

"advanced" uses of arrays.
For example, I have the following var defined:

There is something odd going on here. I have a test directory:

Now, if I run CFEngine, with a simple configuration to set the permissions on

Hi. I understood that Cfengine 3 could read and run Cfengine 2 policies.

All I know is that I never receive any confirmation message when I attempt to

And I have seen a few other registration systems in the past that can't handle

In the cfengine v2 reference the mountall directive is defined thus:

Mine is similar to how Neil does it. I use plain old CVS. Specifying tags on
the cf configuration to indicate which level (alpha, beta, prod, etc...) the
edit should be in:
cvs tag -F alpha failsafe.cf
I then can key off the tag to release different levels and release using cvs.

This sound like the best safe method. A little more work to deal with the file,

The other common method besides HUP is to just resubmit the crontab with

I SIGKILL cron for AIX, it is set to respawn in /etc/inittab. Others I did a
