SYNOPSIS:cf-promises [options]
DESCRIPTION:
The promise agent is a validator and analysis tool for configuration
files belonging to any of the components of Cfengine. Configurations
that make changes must be approved by this validator before being exe‐
cuted. cfengine is a self-healing configuration and change management
based system. You can think of.B cfengine as a very high level lan‐
guage, much higher level than Perl or shell. Asingle statement is
called a promise, and compliance can result in many hundreds of files‐
being created, or the permissions of many hundreds offiles being set.
The idea of .B cfengine is to create a one or more sets of configura‐
tion files which willclassify and describe the setup of every host in a
network.
