cf-execd(8)            DragonFly System Manager's Manual           cf-execd(8)

NAME
       cf-execd - cfengine's execution agent

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
       specified address. It can splay the start time of executions across the
       network 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
       compliance can result in many hundreds of filesbeing created, or the
       permissions 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.
