I am not sure what you're doing worng. The following bundle works just fine
for me... I did "cf-agent -Kb foo -f ./justin.cf"
-Dan
bundle agent foo {
vars:
"logs" slist => { "foo", "bar", "gar-bletch" };
"canonified[$(logs)]" string => canonify("$(logs)");
classes:
"$(canonified[$(logs)])_exists" expression => fileexists("/var/adm/$(logs)")
;
reports:
cfengine_3::
"$(canonified[$(logs)])_exists";
}
