NAME
cf-runagent - Run agent
SYNOPSIS:
cf-runagent [options]
DESCRIPTION:
The run agent connects to a list of running instances of the cf-serverd
service. The agent allows a user to forego the usual scheduling
interval for the agent and activate cf-agent on a remote host.
Additionally, a user can send additional classes to be defined on the
remote host. Two kinds of classes may be sent: classes to decide on
which hosts the agent will be started, and classes that the user
requests the agent should define on execution. The latter type is
regulated by cf-serverd’s role based access control. cfengine is a
self-healing configuration and change management based system. You can
think of cfengine as a very high level language, much higher level than
Perl or shell. Asingle statement is called a promise, and compliance
can result in many hundreds of filesbeing created, or the permissions
of many hundreds offiles being set. The idea of cfengine is to create a
one or more sets of configuration files which willclassify and describe
the setup of every host in a network.
