Hi, Thanks for example. But which version of cfengine are you running?
I'm using cfengine 2.1.18 and the ReturnsZero function always thinks that the included commands returns zero (success)!! -- pretty Odd and Funny! See my example: ... netBoot = ( ReturnsZero(/bin/sh -c "PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin ; mount | egrep '^/dev/ram.*?[ \t]+on[ \t]*/[ \t]*' > /dev/null 2>&1") ) localBoot = ( ReturnsZero(/bin/sh -c "PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin ; mount | egrep '^/dev/[sh]da.*?[ \t]+on[ \t]*/[ \t]*' > /dev/null 2>&1") ) ... Only one shoud be true, either from ramdisk (/dev/ram?) or local disk (/dev/[sh]da) my machines will find its root file system. But see what? cfengine sets both netBoot and localBoot classes at the same time on any machines! from command line we can see that one command returns exit code 0, anther one returns 1 if we run the above encolsed commands manually.
