Re: defining classes

Justin,

Thanks for the swift response.  And your suggestion worked!  It was that easy.

Sandra,

The one thing that initially catches my eye is your definition of the
policy_hosts class. In your class list, you have a fully-qualified
hostname with dots but Cfengine "canonifies" all classes, turning dots
and other non-alphanumeric characters (dashes, etc.) into underscores.
So try this:

        "policy_hosts" => { "cfengine_domain_com" },
            handle => "global_classes";

Subject: defining classes

Hello,

I've been playing with cfengine for a while, copying configurations, and


When I run cf-agent, the output tells me:

Skipping whole next promise (test1 Success policy_hosts defined), as c
ontext policy_hosts is not relevant

Here is the promises.cf file:

# Promises.cf

body common control
{
version => "0.1.1";

bundlesequence  => {
                        "g"
                   };
}


        
bundle common g{

# vars referred to as ${g.masterfiles} etc
     vars:
        "masterfiles" string => "/var/cfengine/masterfiles";
        "inputs" string => "${masterfiles}/inputs";
        "workdir" string => "/var/cfengine";
# add policy hosts, we only have one, 192.168.30.58
         "phost" string => "192.168.30.58";

# define classes
     classes:
        "policy_hosts" => { "cfengine.domain.com" },
            handle => "global_classes";
# The following reports section just tests the class definition
     reports:
        policy_hosts::
           "test1";
        linux::
           "test2";
}



Thank you

running them on my systems. Now I need to make then do what I need them to do. For this I need to define classes. I've been able to use hard classes to select when some bundles are run, however I've been unable to get the soft classes, I define, to work.
