It's not given me confidence. I added a counter to the loop to get a better understanding. neil@ettin ~/.cfagent/inputs $ for I in $(seq 1 10); do echo $I; cf-agent -f ./test.cf; done 1 R: tails: 83 > 50 R: heads: 57 < 51 2 R: heads: 42 < 51 R: tails: 19 > 50 3 R: tails: 41 > 50 R: heads: 10 < 51 4 R: heads: 51 < 51 R: tails: 90 > 50 5 R: heads: 88 < 51 R: tails: 49 > 50 6 R: tails: 58 > 50 R: heads: 23 < 51 7 R: tails: 14 > 50 8 R: tails: 61 > 50 R: heads: 75 < 51 9 R: tails: 39 > 50 R: heads: 8 < 51 10 R: heads: 28 < 51 R: tails: 42 > 50 I think you are right that randomint is invoked with each iteration. That does not seem desirable. Would anyone from CFHQ care to comment? _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
