  • The block of action lines following use deputy is lower-bounded by the next use lead or use deputy action. The block is executed exclusively on the machine specified in the name argument.
  • This action supports the <ignore> modifier. If the string <ignore> is present as the value of any of the arguments, or any argument contains an expression that evaluates to <ignore>, the action is skipped during execution.
  • Parallel execution (parallel = yes) allows the lead controller to continue executing lines (below the block of action lines associated with the use deputy action) concurrently with the deputy. Serial execution (parallel = no) forces the lead controller to wait for the deputy to complete its execution of the block of action lines submitted to it.
  • Note that database actions are not supported on machines operating as deputies.
