cf-know(8) System Manager's Manual cf-know(8)
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.
