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.
