Thanks, that works. I was basically doing the same thing, except I had it
inside an already-existing bundle, eg
bundle agent main {
classes:
"stopnow" expression => fileexists("/etc/nocfrun");
# rest of bundle here....
}
but obviously that must be somehow different from they way you suggested,
because mine was not working (despite setting the class).
Thank you!
