You are correct, my problem isn't / being skipped, but output not being
sent from cfexecd. I knew I had that problem already, but thought I'd
found another when I saw this ignore.

I can set every host to echo a string via shellcommands, and only a
couple out of 200 send mail with the output (cfexecd). All output used
to properly mail, and I don't know what's going on, seems output from
some actions just isn't seen by cfexecd and properly diff'd with the
last output :(. I'll look further into this on my own.

Thanks for the help.
