Re: Newbie in cfengine, want to implement to my system

If you change the file using copy, the use the "define=classname" 
option. Then you can restart iptables if that class if defined.

For example:
------------------------
copy:
 /etc/sysconfig/iptables server=yourserver.example.com 
define=restart_iptables

shellcommands:

restart_iptables::
 "/etc/init.d/iptables restart" timeout=30
-------------------------------------------------

I think that editfiles has a similar way to define a class if the file 
is changed.
