Re: [Cfengine] process and filters

[Bas van der Vlies]

Sorry is my fault, cfengine can handle this (Always read the doc ;-) ).
there is an option:
   action=bymatch

That is exactly what i wanted. Only one thing. If a specify this option
and i run cfagent verbose. It looks like it is signalling the process but
is not, because the check of how many matches is later.

cfengine:arrakis: Signalling process 35426 (cfexecd) with SIGKILL

I personally think that this message must not be displayed if
action=bymatch is specified:

process.c (version 2.0.4)

function FindMatches:

  snprintf(OUTPUT,bufsize*2,"Signalling process %d (%s) with 
%s\n",pid,pp->expr,SIGNALS[pp->signal]);
  CfLog(cfinform,OUTPUT,"");

 must be replaced by:

 if (pp->action != 'm')
    {
    snprintf(OUTPUT,bufsize*2,"Signalling process %d (%s) with 
%s\n",pid,pp->expr,SIGNALS[pp->signal]);
    CfLog(cfinform,OUTPUT,"");
    }
