RE: is this a bug in cfengine?

[Wheeler, John]

Any is a supper set of the class "first" therefore the first non-any
class will fire this action? Not sure. You could see if the behavior is
consistent with all actions (like copy).

If the above is true, then during parse time, Cfengine simply adds the
elements of any non-activated actions to the first activated one.


I've seen this before, but now I add an "activator" class to all my
actions to enforce order. I suspect this will be resolved if you add a
class to the shellcommand action missing a class in the action sequence.
