Neil, That does seem to work, though I'm really hoping that it's working like Mark says and that the promises repaired percentage is fixed to reflect how it really works.
Here's what I have, based on your code: bundle agent test { vars: "myfile" string => "/tmp/passwd_test"; "valid_netgroups" slist => { "is", "dba" }; files: "$(myfile)" edit_line => update_netgroups("@(test.valid_netgroups)"); } bundle edit_line update_netgroups(valid_netgroups) { delete_lines: "\...@.*"; insert_lines: "+...@$(valid_netgroups):x:::::"; } Thanks!
