NAME

       cf-serverd - cfengine's server agent

SYNOPSIS
:
	cf-serverd [options]

DESCRIPTION
:
       The  server daemon provides two services: it acts as a file server for remote file copying and it allows an authorized cf-runagent to start
       start a cf-agent process and set certain additional classes with role-based access control.

       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.

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

       --verbose, -v
	      Output verbose information about the behaviour of the agent

       --version, -V
	      Output the version of the software

       --file, -f
	      Specify an alternative input file than the default

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

       --negate, -N

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

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

       --diagnostic, -x

       --no-fork, -F

DESCRIPTION

       cfengine  is  a language based system specifically designed for testing and configuring unix-like systems attached to a TCP/IP network. You
       can think of cfengine as a very high level language -- much higher level than Perl or shell. A single statement can result in many hundreds
       of  links being created, or the permissions of many hundreds of files being set. The idea of cfenginge is to create a single file or set of
       configuration files which will describe the setup of every host on your network.

       cfagent runs on every host and parses one file (or file-set), the configuration of the host is checked against this file and,  if  desired,
       any  deviations	are  fixed.  cfagent reads a configuration file called cfengine.conf in a directory pointed to by the environment variable
       CFINPUTS.  cfagent performs host integrity and security checks as well as installing and repairing system configuration.

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

       -a (--sysadm)		Print only the name of the system administrator then quit.

       -b (--force-net-copy)	Forces net copy even if remote server is localhost

       -c (--no-check-files)	Do not check access rights on file systems

       -C (--no-check-mounts)	Check mount points for consistency. If this option is set then directories which lie in the "mount point" area are
				checked to see whether there is anything mounted on them.

       -d (--debug)		Enable debugging output. (parsing -d1,run, -d2, lite -d3)

       -D (--define)		Define a compound class symbol of the form alpha.beta.gamma.

       -e (--no-edits)		Suppress file editing.

       -E (--enforce-links)	Globally  force  links to be created where plain files or links already exist. You have to use this in interactive
				mode and answer a yes/no query before cfagent will run like this.

       -f (--file)		Parse filename after this switch. By default cfagent looks for a file called cfengine.conf in the  current  direc-
				tory.

       -h (--help )		Help information. Display version banner and options summary.

       -H (--no-hard-classes)	Prevents cfagent from generating any internal class name information. Can be used for emulation purposes.

       -i (--no-ifconfig)	Do not attempt to configure the local area network interface.

       -I (--inform)		Switches on the inform output level, whereby cfagent reports everything it changes..

       -k (--no-copy)		Do not copy/image any files.

       -K (--no-lock)		Ignore locks when running.

       -l (--traverse-links)	Normally cfagent does not follow symbolic links when recursively parsing directories. This option will force it to
				do so.

       -L (--delete-stale-links)
				Delete links which do not point to existing files (except in user home directories, which are not touched).

       -m (--no-mount)		Do not attempt to mount file systems or edit the filesystem table.

       -M (--no-modules)	Ignore modules in actionsequence.

       -n (--recon,--dry-run,--just-print)
				No action. Only print what has to be done without actually doing it.

       -N (--negate,--undefine) Cancel a set of classes, or undefine (set value to false) a compound class of the form alpha.beta.gamma.

       -p (--parse-only)	Parse file and then stop. Used for checking the syntax of a program.

       -q (--no-splay)		Switch off host splaying (sleeping).

       -s (--no-commands)	Do not execute scripts or shell commands.

       -S (--silent)		Silence run time warnings.

       -t (--no-tidy)		Do not tidy file systems.

       -u (--use-env)		Causes cfagent to generate an environment variable CFALLCLASSES which can be read by  child  processes	(scripts).
				This  variable	contains a summary of all the currently defined classes at any given time. This option causes some
				system 5 systems to generate a Bus Error or segmentation fault.

       -U (--underscore-classes)
				When this option is set, cfagent adds an underscore to the beginning of  all  hard  system  classes  (like  _sun4,
				_linux	etc.)	This can be used to avoid naming conflicts if you are so injudicious as to name a host by the name
				of a hard class. Other classes are not affected.

       -v (--verbose)		Verbose mode. Prints detailed information about actions and state.

       -V (--version)		Print only the version string and then quit.

       -x (--no-preconf)	Do not execute the cf.preconf net configuration file.

       -X (--no-links)		Do not execute the links section of a program.

       -w (--no-warn,--quiet)	Do not print warning messages.
