I'm having a very VERY annoying problem with "tidy". This may be a
feature, but it feels like a bug.
I've managed to replicate the problem with a VERY simple configuration.
Mark, perhaps you can shed some light on this.
----cfagent.conf------------
import:
cf.tidy1
cf.tidy2
----------------------------
----cf.tidy1----------------
control:
actionsequence = ( tidy.tidy1 )
tidy:
tidy1::
/tmp/test_files pattern=tidy1.* age=0
----------------------------
----cf.tidy2----------------
control:
actionsequence = ( tidy.tidy2 )
tidy:
tidy2::
/tmp/test_files pattern=tidy2.* age=0
----------------------------
I touch some files in /tmp/test_files as follows:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp/test_files]$ touch tidy1.csh tidy1.sh tidy2.csh tidy2.sh
And then run cfagent, and the log shows that only the first tidy action
actually does anything:

I *really* hope this is a bug (and thus will be fixed) because more and
more often we run into this issue and have to convert tons of tidy:
actions into shellcommands actions that call "rm". Not really "using
cfengine to its full potential"!!
BTW, this is on cfengine 2.1.21. My sincerest apologies if this was fixed
in a later version and I didn't notice in the changelogs.
