1.5.15 ExpireAfter

This parameter controls the global value of the ExpireAfter parameter. See Spamming and security. This parameter controls the maximum time in minutes which a cfengine action is allowed to live. After this time cfengine will try to kill the cfengine which seems to have hung and attempt to restart the action.

     
      ExpireAfter = ( time-in-minutes )
     

This parameter may also be set per action in the action sequence by appending a pseudo-class called ExpireAftertime. For instance,

     
      actionsequence = ( copy.ExpireAfter15 )
     

sets the expiry time parameter to 15 minutes for this copy command.
