Forum: Cfengine Help Subject: What does force_update in copy_from do? Author: babudro Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,18949,18949#msg-18949
Docs say not to use it, but the synopsis merely says, "force copy update always", and the notes shed no more light but are only a warning not to use it. Hmmm... I've tried to imagine what "force copy update always" might mean, but can't come up with anything better than "always copy the file even if Cfengine thinks it doesn't need copying". However, that doesn't seem to justify the warning that says it is a non-convergent operation and the resulting file may never stablise. Is there anyone who understands this and can give a better description of the purpose of this true/false switch? _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list [email protected] https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
