Re: How to get cfengine to act like tar

[Chris Marlow]

Mark -

That seems to have taken care of part of the problem...  The errors about
"internal error" have disappeared.  However, I'm still getting:

--snip--
cfengine:axentmgr: Will not create directories for a relative filename
../bin4/a2p
Has no invariant meaning
cfengine:axentmgr: Can't stat ../bin4/a2p
cfengine:axentmgr: Will not create directories for a relative filename
../bin2/adapters.dsense

Here's a breakdown of the configs:

****************
****Server side
****************

control:

  domain = ( domain.com )

     cfrunCommand = ( "/var/cfengine/bin/cfagent" )

 any::

  IfElapsed = ( 1 )
  ExpireAfter = ( 15 )
  MaxConnections = ( 50 )
  MultipleConnections = ( true )
  LogAllConnections = ( true )
  AllowUsers = ( root )

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks
