Cfengine is a tool for setting up and maintaining BSD and System-5-like operating system optionally attached to a TCP/IP network.

You can think of cfengine as a very high level language, much higher level than Perl or shell: a single statement can result in many hundreds of operations being performed on multiple hosts.

Cfengine can perform very good a lot of common system administration tasks, and allows you to build on its strengths with your own scripts. You can also use it as a netwide front-end for `cron'.

What's New in This Release:
This release adds a ReturnsZeroShell function, a new database format for cfenvd, and support for $(this) in the copy action, which resolves to the current server, to permit separating files from multiple hosts when downloading.
