Description

We use several flag files to copy policy (promises, ncf, tools) from the Rudder server to Rudder nodes. The way these are used is:
1) Copy flag file
2) Check if copy changed flag file
3) If there was a change, start copy of main contents

However, if step 3 gets interrupted, or fails for any reason (not enough space on device, network issue, user killed process, etc), the next "update" will stop at step 2 (there will be no change to the flag file).

"rudder agent update" should be able to get around this, using a "force/-f" flag.
