Hello. I would appreciate any insight you might have regarding my readlink

In the below example, I have two policy servers one in Atlanta and another
in Dallas and my clients have keys for both policy servers.
If I run this promise manually I get key errors (shown below), however if I
add the "packages_update" to the promises.cf file it works just fine.
What am I missing?
I monitor my cfengine systems in a couple of different ways.
1) Nagios port 5308 check to the policy servers
2) Nagios NRPE check_file_age to ensure the clients are updating properly
(see below)
3) Hourly cf-servd status check/fix

Sorry for the noise. My lastseen problems were caused by duplicate clients

Any updates on this issue? I am experiencing the same problem on a RHEL 5.3
host running 3.1.2.

I would appreciate some assistance on how to update a pre-existing symlink.
If "/xyz -> /old/path" exists then delete it and replace/add "/xyz ->
/new/path".
It sounds like the "issymlinkto" function would be needed, but I'm unsure
how to use it.
Thank you for your time and assistance

Is it possible to randomly select one policy server from a list, array or
whatever to interact with during a particular execution/run?
Using the below configuration, my clients equally interact with BOTH policy
servers (192.168.22.103 and 22.233). Since the
policy servers are identifical their is
Should I consider running my Linux cf-execd process from cron instead of
Linux services to side step this issue?
Granted the cf-execd.cf is one of those infrequently modified files, but
having to kill and restart sounds undesirable to me.
