A set of tools that administers and configures computers according to the instructions in its configuration files, which describe the desired characteristics of system components using a high-level language. (Paraphrased from Aeleen Frisch, Essential System Administration, 3rd Edition, p. 921) For more info, see the Cfengine Overview.
