No reliable outputs in 2.1.15 ? |

I've begun setting up a CFEngine environment here. I've installed cfengine
from RPMs off of Dag Wieers site and that got cfservd, cfenvd, and cfexecd
running on the systems at bootup. I've configured a simple update.conf to
copy cfagent.conf and update.conf from the remote master directory to the
local "inputs" directory. I have "force=true" in the copy and I see the copy
happening at hourly intervals (the timestamps on the files are updated and
.cfsaved files are created). However, *most* of the time, I do not see a log
file being created in the "outputs" directory. So, my questions are:
* What is the "previous" link in the "outputs" directory? What creates
it? For what reason? Why would it be removed or *not* created?
* Assuming copies are happening, shouldn't output be created in the
"outputs" directory? Is the daemons running incorrectly?
* Should I abandon the RPMs and build cfengine from scratch? Is there
reasons for building on a system from scratch?
* Where in the documentation is the "outputs" directory discussed and
when output is created? What about email to sysadm?
The following is my update.conf:
control:
actionsequence = ( copy )
domain = ( vmware.com )
policyhost = ( cfengine.eng.vmware.com )
master_cfinput = ( /home/cfengine/master/config/cfengine/inputs )
local_cfinput = ( /var/cfengine/inputs )
copy:
$(master_cfinput) dest=$(local_cfinput)
recurse=inf
mode=600
owner=root
group=root
server=$(policyhost)
trustkey=true
ignore=CVS
