Try putting in an 'alert' stanza that is always true (such as FOO|!FOO). Also, cfexecd doesn't send any mail unless the output differs from the previous run, so you might have to put in a shellcommand that echos something to the previous file to make it different then the current file.
Also, you wouldn't get copy output unless the source and destination is different. -Jason Martin > -----Original Message----- > From: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > org] On Behalf Of David Masterson > Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 10:25 AM > To: help-cfengine@gnu.org > Subject: No reliable outputs in 2.1.15 ? > > > I've begun setting up a CFEngine environment here.
