ifelapsed/locking problems with cfengine 3.6

[Bas van der Vlies]

I encounter this when we want to disable cfengine on a host. When I a touch a file in /etc/node_status/no_cfengine. This wil abort cfengine but we encountered that when run cf-agent multiple times it would still executes. I have set ifelapsed to 0 but that has no effect.

It only occurs with bundle nesting, eg:
bundle1 -> calls bundle2 —> calls bundle3

I want to know if other people has seen/notice this?

I have issued a bug report with test case:

regards

What if cfengine_abort is set to global/namespace scope?

"cfengine_abort" expression => fileexists( $(file) ),
scope => "namespace";

Neil,

In the bug report there is an example file. It is just one file same namespace and this will trigger the problem that i described, I tried your suggestion and it did not solved the issue.
