is Cfengine working for heterogeneous cluster

hi All, We have many sub systerms, totally hundreds of machines. There are tens of different cron jobs running on these machines, is cfengine fit for managing different machines(promise is diff) in a central way? Maybe we can just divide them into homogenous groups? thanks, php ___

I think that Cfengine can probably help you. Take a look at the tutorial to get an idea how it works. Try some examples and post your questions here. Sincerely, -- Neil Watson 416-673-3465 CONFIDENTIALITY WARNING This communication, including any attachments, is for the exclusive use of ad

Re: Basic string replacement

Speaking just for myself (and not cfengine today), I think this is a good idea. As long as you're at it, you probably want a tolower() and toupper() function. You can get "ignore case" on regular expression matching with PCRE '(?i)', but converting to lower or to upper on output is harder (and if y

Given this bundle: bundle agent escape_test { vars: 'string' string => "This'string_has\\stuff!\"in.it."; 'escaped' string => escape(${string}); reports: linux:: "String=${string}${const.n}Escaped=${escaped}"; } A bit contrived, perhaps, but based on http://www.cfengine.org/

Multiple cf-execd processes

In one of my development configurations, I have a problem of having multiple cf-execd processes being spawned, very much similar to that discussed in the mail thread in the following URL: http://www.mail-archive.com/help-cfengine@cfengine.org/msg00682.html Request to please point me towards an

How are you spawning multiple cf-execd's? In the thread you quoted I wanted to make sure that cf-execd was running but that cf-execd -F was not counted when considering that promise. Thus the negative look ahead regex. Sincerely, -- Neil Watson 416-673-3465 CONFIDENTIALITY WARNING This com

Re: Multiple cf-execd processes

I gave up trying to manage cf-execd with cfengine itself. I know use Solaris SMF to manage all my services, for stopping, starting and restarting if they crash. In fact, the only interaction between cfengine and services in my current config is for cfengine to restart a SMF service if a config file

I'm embarrassed, this was too easy: bundle agent site_root_password { vars: no_passwd:: "passwd_hash" string => "x"; some_class:: "passwd_hash" string => "somehash"; files: "/tmp/shadow" comment => "Set the local pass
