Links done on every run, even if not needed

[David Cress]

I'm trying to make sure that some of my system start scripts are properly 
linked.  I copy files to /etc/init.d, then hard link them to various rcX.d 
scripts.  The first time cfagent runs it works fine, copies across the files I 
need, links them up, but every time it runs I still get the link messages.  I 
thought that if the links existed, it was not supposed to do anything.

OS: Solaris 7 - 9
CFengine: v2.1.1

Subscriberref2 is part of the mqm and subscriber groups.

This appears in the outputs file on every run:

cfengine:subscriberref2: Hardlinking files /rc3.d/S96si -> /etc/init.d/si
cfengine:subscriberref2: Hardlinking files /rc0.d/K01si -> /etc/init.d/si
cfengine:subscriberref2: Hardlinking files /rc3.d/S60mqm -> /etc/init.d/mqm
cfengine:subscriberref2: Hardlinking files /rc0.d/K10mqm -> /etc/init.d/mqm
cfengine:subscriberref2: Hardlinking files /rc3.d/S75webserver01 -> 
/etc/init.d/webserver01


cf.links file:
