Rudder

I volontarly corrupted policies and ran rudder agent check

Output is

# rudder agent check
WARNING: No disable file detected and no agent executor process either. Restarting agent service...ok: stop service rudder-agent succeeded

   error: There are syntax errors in policy files
ok: Rudder agent check ran without errors.

cf-promises does return exit code 1, but

# /var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/cf-promises | grep error
/var/rudder/cfengine-community/inputs/promises.cf:18:4: error: syntax error

root@agent1:/home/vagrant# echo $?
1

errors are now in stderr rather than in stdout, so grep fails (but we could get exit code)

we could also use stderr in

# /var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/cf-promises 2>&1  | grep error
