Ian, Normal "-I" output is prefixed by "->". Lines starting with "Q: " are standard output produced by any commands executed by CFEngine, and are produced regardless of the -I flag, if there is any output from the commands (try it - run your file without the -I flag, you will still see the "Q:" lines).
To avoid this you would need to redirect output from commands, either to a file or to /dev/null if it can be discarded. --Diego On Feb 29, 2012, at 2:17 PM, Ian wrote: > Looking at the manual, "cf-agent -I" supposedly prints "basic > information about changes made to the system, i.e. promises repaired". > > Package promises don't seem to treat "-I" like this, though. > > The commands run due to package promises print their output (even in the > case of my silent wrapper scripts they print the script name).
