Wil,

I like the wiki.  I checked my config and cannot see where I would have 
cfexecd scheduled for daemon mode.  I have it running from cron every 
half hour with a splay time of 25 minutes.  I see log messages like this:

Sep 21 11:00:00 ski CRON[19560]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/sbin/cfexecd -F)
Sep 21 11:30:00 ski CRON[19677]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/sbin/cfexecd -F)

which tells me that part is working right.  A ps shows the -F switch:

[-0-ski@ski: inputs]$ ps ax | grep cf
  344  ??  Ss     0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/cfservd
  356  ??  Ss     1:00.77 /usr/local/sbin/cfenvd
19677  ??  S      0:00.01 /usr/local/sbin/cfexecd -F
19706  ??  S      0:00.04 /var/cfengine/bin/cfagent

Config files are:

# cfagent.conf

import:
  groups.cf
  variables.cf
  imports.cf

# cfengine.cf

  actionsequence = ( processes )
