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	inter‐
       val 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  con‐
       figuration  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 compliance can result
       in many hundreds of filesbeing created, or the permissions of many hun‐
       dreds  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.
