Keep a copy and compare it to the original. If they are different, then define a class. You can use the IsNewerThan evaluated class: classes: file_changed = ( IsNewerThan(/copy/file,/main/file) ) See http://www.cfengine.org/docs/cfengine-Reference.html#Evaluated-classes-and-special-functions And then have whatever action you take based on "file_changed" being defined also update /copy/file from /main/file if you only want the action to happen once. You might also want to use ChangedBefore, depending on what you are after. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
