<p>cdist is the frontend executable to the cdist configuration management.
It supports different subcommands as explained below.</p>
<p>It is written in Python so it requires <strong>python</strong>(1) to be installed.
It requires a minimal Python version 3.2.</p>

<h2>9.14. CAVEATS<a class="headerlink" href="#caveats" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>When operating in parallel, either by operating in parallel for each host
(-p/--parallel) or by parallel jobs within a host (-j/--jobs), and depending
on target SSH server and its configuration you may encounter connection drops.
This is controlled with sshd <strong>MaxStartups</strong> configuration options.
You may also encounter session open refusal. This happens with ssh multiplexing
when you reach maximum number of open sessions permitted per network
connection. In this case ssh will disable multiplexing.
This limit is controlled with sshd <strong>MaxSessions</strong> configuration
options. For more details refer to <strong>sshd_config</strong>(5).</p>
<p>When requirements for the same object are defined in different manifests (see
example below), for example, in init manifest and in some other type manifest
and those requirements differ then dependency resolver cannot detect
dependencies right. This happens because cdist cannot prepare all objects first
and run all objects afterwards. Some object can depend on the result of type
explorer(s) and explorers are executed during object run. cdist will detect
such case and write warning message. Example for such a case:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>init manifest:
