NAME

cf-agent - cfengine's change agent

SYNOPSIS:


 cf-agent [options]

DESCRIPTION:

The main Cfengine agent is the instigator of change in the system. In that sense it is the most important part of the Cfengine suite.

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.
