RE: [SPAM] - Actionsequence as a top level section - Bayesian Filter detected spam

[Nielsen, Steve]

I would be happy with this:

control:
        actionsequence = (
                shellcommands.init
                shellcomamdns.dostuff
                shellcommands.any
                shellcommands.post
        )

using the "any" class to define the order would fit in with the current 
cfengine model would it not (since any if defined anyways)

I personally am hoping for an actionsequence: *section*, instead of a 
list variable.  One that has *all* other sections in it, rather than 
just some but not others (e.g. import:, groups:, control:, alerts:, 
filters: don't go in there).  It might be a little more typing but would 
greatly ease order-of-operations issues.

actionsequence:
    groups.init
    control
    groups.after_top_control
    directories
    links
    linux::
           control.do_linux
    sunos::
            control.do_sunos
    chicago_office::  #Determined in "groups"
             control.chicago
    any::
       import.first    #All imported files have their own actionsequence:
       filters
       tidy
       files
       import.second
       alerts

Something like the above would make about 75% of my migraine headaches 
go away :)
