Re: cfexecd not sending emails

Cfengine does not send repeat emails more than once per day, but it is 
not very smart. Small differences (the date etc) could cause it to send 
the message every time. Are you seeing any hung processes on the 
machine? There was a change toward multithreading in cfexecd in 2.2 
which could possibly have something to do with this, but my only 
suggestion on the information provided is to try 2.2.7 which fixes the 
problem for most people.
