SYNOPSIS:cf-execd [options]
DESCRIPTION:
The executor daemon is a scheduler and wrapper for execution of cf-
agent. It collects the output of the agent and can email it to a speci‐
fied address. It can splay the start time of executions across the net‐
work and work as a class-based clock for scheduling. cfengine is a
self-healing configuration and change management based system. You can
think of.B cfengine as a very high level language, much higher level
than Perl or shell. Asingle statement is called a promise, and compli‐
ance can result in many hundreds of filesbeing created, or the permis‐
sions of many hundreds offiles being set. The idea of .B cfengine is to
create a one or more sets of configuration files which willclassify and
describe the setup of every host in a network.
