Subject: RE: cfsaved files : cfengine 2.0.4
Can you put the cfsaved file under a tmp directory somewhere rather than littering the directories where the file is being copied?
-within your "copy:" action you can declare
...
backup=true
repository=/directory_of_your_choice
...
(ex. If /tmp then all *.cfsaved files should go there only.
you may have to admit: , or grant: access to any dir you need to write to in cfservd.conf
An example is whenever I reboot a system, I see the message cron: root.cfsaved, no such user.
This is just an example of the kinds of unexpected effect an incomplete file xfer can cause. This one is somewhat benine but im sure there are scenarios where this isn't the right solution. What is the file is large? I wouldn't want it arbitrarily just dropped where the destination file goes. It would be nice to have an optional parameter that can be set for temp files so that people can choose the default behavior or have all stuff centralized in one place.
Thoughts?

Not currently, but this is a good idea that I shall add in the next
release. I hope you can hold out until about Xmas. I am very
busy right now.
