NAME

       cf-know - cfengine's knowledge agent

SYNOPSIS
:
	cf-know [options]

DESCRIPTION
:
       The knowledge management agent is capable of building and analysing a semantic knowledge network. It can configure a relational database to
       contain an ISO standard topic map and permit regular-expression based searching of the map. Analysis of the semantic network  can  be  per-
       formed  providing  graphical  output of the data, and cf-know can assemble and converge the reference manual for the current version of the
       Cfengine software.  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 configu-
       ration files which willclassify and describe the setup of every host in a network.

NAME

       cf-agent - cfengine's change agent

SYNOPSIS

       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.

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
:
       --bootstrap, -B
	      Bootstrap/repair a cfengine configuration from failsafe file in the WORKDIR else in current directory

       --bundlesequence, -b

       --debug, -d
	      Set debugging level 0,1,2

       --define, -D
	      Define a list of comma separated classes to be defined at the start of execution

       --diagnostic, -x

       --help, -h
	      Print the help message

       --inform, -I
	      Print basic information about changes made to the system, i.e. promises repaired

       --negate, -N
	      Define a list of comma separated classes to be undefined at the start of execution

       --no-lock, -K
	      Ignore locking constraints during execution (ifelapsed/expireafter) if "too soon" to run

       --policy-server, -s
