default:control_executor.schedule

The class schedule used by cf-execd for activating cf-agent. The list should contain class expressions comprised of classes which are visible to the cf-execd daemon.

default:control_executor.smtpserver

Name or IP of a willing smtp server for sending email. This should point to a standard port 25 server without encryption. If you are running secured or encrypted email then you should run a mail relay on localhost and point this to localhost.
