DESCRIPTION:¶
The promise agent is a validator and analysis tool for configuration files
belonging to any of the components of Cfengine. Configurations that make
changes must be approved by this validator before being executed.
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

to create a one or more sets of configuration files which willclassify and
describe the setup of every host in a network.
