I'm trying to make a files action that will create a file if it doesn't exist or will fix ownership if it does exist but is wrong. action=create can do the first action=fixplain can do the second However, if I use both a create and fixplain action, only the first one in the config actually does anything, cfengine's file locking prevents the second one from running. So if the create action is first, it will create it if not there but will not fix it if it is. Conversely, if the fixplain is first it will fix ownerships if it is wrong, but it will never create the file if it isn't there (the fix action sets a lock even if the file to fix doesn't exist, so a create won't happen because the non-existant file is locked). action=touch will do what I want, except that it changes the timestamp of the file on every run whether it changes anything or not (which is what I would expect a touch to do, but not what I want) Is there some option I've missed that could achieve both a create and a fix and do whichever one is needed? Thanks, Frank
