You can combine boolean operators. Cfengine supports a syntax that
combines logical AND, OR, NOT, and grouping constructs. It also
supports "and", "or", "not", and "xor" expressions for defining new
classes.
In your example, I think you want to do soemthing like this:
bundle agent foo {
classes:
'all' or => { 'a', 'b', 'c' };
'databases' or => { 'c' };
reports:
all:
"Host ${sys.fqhost} is in 'all' class.";
all.!databases::
"Host ${sys.fqhost} is in 'all' class, but not in 'databases'.";
}
This, while untested, should print two reports each for hosts 'a' and
'b', but only one report for host 'c'.
