I think that even this is unnecessarily complicated. If you want to switch an action off, you can wrap it with a class that won't be defined, or just comment it out. An action list sounds like an "opt-in" situation, which seems to violate the principle of least surprise to me (that is, if one writes an action, one expects it to be implemented). What might be more useful is an anti-action list (the "opt-out" analogue). So, rather than have the behavior be "do nothing unless told to," it could be "do everything unless told not to." This could be similar to the current cfagent options "--no-processes," "--no-copy," etc. though it would allow that information to be encoded in the policy. It seems to me that such exclusion will not be the common case though. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
