Forum: Cfengine Help Subject: Re: How to modify a global list Author: jonb1987 Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,21589,21591#msg-21591
Thanks for your prompt response Neil! I understand your point (I think), but beg to differ slightly on the conclusion, particularly for cron. Taking the cfengine documentation examples, there is a specific bundle for cfengine. Part of that is to modify the crontab file. Now cron is widely used, and other tasks may be handled by cron, and require a different update to a file in /etc/cron,d/ for example. I think I'd prefer to partition my promises by these tasks, rather than by the underlying service used by them (cron in this case). In which case it seems optimal to maintain a list of services to be restarted at the end in one go. Otherwise, I'm highly likely to be restating/reloading something like cron several times. Another example would be xinetd which is widely used, and again has several different config files. What do you think? _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
