Node:Debugging tips, Next:Access control, Previous:The generic class any, Up:More advanced concepts
A useful trick when debugging is to eliminate unwanted actions by
changing their class name. Since cfengine assumes that any class it
does not understand is the name of some host, it will simply ignore
entries it does not recognize. For example:
myclass::
can be changed to
Xmyclass::
Since Xmyclass
no longer matches any defined classes, and is not
the name of any host it will simply be ignored. The -N
option
can also be used to the same effect. (see Reference manual).
