This still seems to apply for groups. Can we update the documentation?
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.cfagent/inputs$ tail -100 cf.import cf.class
==> cf.import <==
control:
actionsequence = ( shellcommands )
variable2 = ( "value2" )
import:
cf.class
shellcommands:
any::
"/bin/echo cf.import ${variable}"
class_true::
"/bin/echo cf.import ${variable2}"
==> cf.class <==
groups:
class_true = ( any )
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.cfagent/inputs$

cfengine:: Finished script /bin/echo cf.import ${variable}
