%%name: cfengine

%%short-description: Maintains configuration of a heterogenous UNIX network.
 
%%full-description: Intended for sys admins, cfengine is a tool for
setting up and maintaining BSD and System 5-like operating systems
optionally attached to a TCP/IP network.

The program focuses on a few key areas that scripts tend to
mishandle. From a single configuration files (or set of files) you
specify, using classes, your network configuration; cfengine then
parses the file and carries out the instructions, warning you about
errors (or fixing them) as it goes. 

You can think of cfengine as a very high level language, higher than
Perl or shell: a single command can result in many hundreds of
operations being performed on multiple hosts. You can also use it as a
net-wide front end for 'cron.'
