cfengine output management

[Adam Doligalski]

Hello,

I've installed cfengine on few FreeBSD machines. Everything works fine 
but I have got a problem to understand logging and output management. I 
run cfagent via cfexecd (4 times in an hour) or cfrun command on 
management machine.

cfagent, cfexecd store some output in /var/cfengine directory. there 
appeared file cfagent..log and two other files. What they are exactly for?

I gather that cfexecd.conf file can contain smtpserver value. It should 
email output. But what is considered to be an output? I expect that when 
e.g. cfagent kills inetd process it should generate some output and 
email it for me. But it doesn't work as I expected - the only thing 
emailed are some configuration bugs. When I've corrected configuration, 
nothing was emailed and ran again.

And last question: does Syslog option disable other output generation?

Main reason I'm asking it about is that I'd like to have some periodical 
signals from cfengine that it's still running and have output what it 
has done (if anything).

Thanks,
        Adam
