Re: cfexecd -F vs. cfexecd -Fp (editfiles)

[Mark . Burgess]

This is probably an issue of locking. If you have run this once
from update.conf then it would be too soon for it to be run
from cfagent.conf. Run with -v to check this. You can also
try updating to 2.0.4pre and see if it makes a difference.
