Thanks for the various replies, which are mostly similar, but in detail
are quite different.
In what follows, bear in mind that I'm new to version 3 of cfengine.
I understand that there is a "Community Library". Is this
"cfengine_stdlib.cf"?
I'm using:
cfengine-community-3.1.4-1.el5
My stdlib says:
# Subversion : $Rev: 61 $
# For Cfengine Core: 3.1.0
It occurs to me that a lot of people use cfengine:
1. to enable/disable services (Redhat/Centos "chkconfig XXX"
2. to start and stop services (Redhat/Centos "service XXX start").
Also there is analogous functionality on other OSes (Solaris-10 "svc" etc.).
From that perspective, there is a parallel with package installation
and removal.
For packages there is already higher-level functionality in "stdlib".
Good. But for services no such functionality. That seems poor.
Should we consider taking this opportunity to develop in "stdlib" some
control of services, perhaps modelled loosely on that for packages?
(Or have I missed something obvious?)
