I noticed some strange behavior in
2.0.5 and 2.0.6 ( haven’t checked 2.0.4) . When I run my
current conf, notice that the copy directive changed. Below is a snip from a normal
run:
*********************************************************************
Update Sched: copy pass 1 @ Mon Mar 31
11:36:10
2003
*********************************************************************
<snip>
</snip>
: cfengine: appending image
/var/cfengine/inputs/cfagent.conf.100202 class any to singlecopy list
: Skipping excluded file /var/cfengine/inputs/cfagent.conf class
any
: cfengine: appending image /var/cfengine/inputs/cfrun.hosts class any to singlecopy list
: cfengine: appending image /var/cfengine/inputs/cfservd.conf class any to singlecopy list
: cfengine: appending image /var/cfengine/inputs/update.conf class any to singlecopy list
<snip>
</snip>
The above repeats for every file
in the update.conf’s copy section. The change or
difference is that subsequent copies in either the cfagent.conf or included files repeats as
follows:
*********************************************************************
Main Tree Sched: copy.install pass 2 @ Mon

First, why does it check cfagent
twice?
Second, why is it even checking
these at all? This is not the behavior I observe in 2.0.3. Should I “protect”
every copy action with a class to prevent this type of behavior? Is this
related to “single copy” and I just need to RTFM?
