NAME
cf-promises - cfengine's promise analyzer
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 executed. 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.
