Re: make "action: processes" silent

[rader]

You're config says "if there are >1 ypserv daemons then warn me and
define nis_slave".  (You could use "if there are no ypserv serve
daemons then warn me else define nis_slave", but then you'll get
output on non-YP systems.)

I went down this path with AFS.  It would be nice if there was a way
to always make "processes" silent, but I don't think there is one.
I ended up using a module:

 #!/bin/bash
 if ( /usr/bin/fs wscell > /dev/null 2>&1 ) ; then 
   echo +has_afs
 fi

with this config...

 control:
   addinstallable = ( has_afs )
   [...]
   actionsequence = ( module:HasAFS ... )
   moduledirectory = ( /var/cfengine/modules )
 [...]

 copy: 
   has_afs::
     [...]
