I'm not expecting it to kill other cf-agent processes, I simply want it
to bail out if it detects there are other cf-agent runs in progress. A
"stuck" cf-agent process will usually finish up once the offending NFS
mount becomes available again.
The docs are pretty clear about what the intended behaviour of
abortclasses should be: "A list of class regular expressions that
cf-agent will watch out for. If any matching class becomes defined, it
will cause the current execution of cf-agent to be aborted."
I glanced through the source briefly and found that the "will not kill
itself!" ("will not signal itself" in the latest code) is an exception
in the FindPidMatches function of verify_processes.c. It would seem
that the check_range cfengine function is producing that message however
it still goes on to report that the process count is out of range:
cf3 cf-agent will not kill itself!
cf3 !! Process count for 'cf-agent' was out of promised range (6 found)
Unless there are other ideas I might file this as a bug / feature request.
