Thanks for the feedback Ed. It is possible to try to further hide some repeated information such as owners and modes. However this value still has to be set somewhere. If it is not in the current location as I have shown you'll have to look in multiple places to find all the information. Lets look an example.
"coreadm" string => "/etc/coreadm.conf"; "face" string => "/usr/oasys/tmp/TERRLOG"; "loginlog" string => "/var/adm/loginlog"; "files" slist => { "coreadm", "face", "loginlog" }; methods: ################## # Pass file information above to a files promise redhat|suse|sunos_5_10:: "any" usebundle => fileperms( "${${files}", "0600", "root", "bin" ); It looks neater. Suppose I want to add a file that has a different user, group or mode? In a perfect world we'd be able to define data structures in CF as we would in Perl and loop through them. @files = ( { mod => 0644, usr => root, grp => root, trgs => [ "/etc/coreadm.conf", "/usr/oasys/tmp/TERRLOG", "/var/adm/loginlog";\ ] }, { mod => 0600, usr => root, grp => root, trgs => [ "/root", "/etc/secret", "/var/log/secure.*" ] } ) Sincerely, -- Neil Watson 416-673-3465
