I understand what Inform does. I don't have it turned on. However, from
the manual (page 141):

The '-q' and '-I' options are always assumed when executing cfengine
remotely

So the -q -I are always appended to the cfrunCommand. This is
undesirable in my case, since I want to use cfexecd -1 as my
cfrunCommand (so the output is emailed to me), but it doesn't understand
-I. Is there anyway to disable that or any workarounds people are
using?
