Hey folks,
Having no success whatsoever with the previous approaches in this thread I
tried using a find command to select the "dot" files for editing. Still no joy.
Just as in my previous approaches where it appeared that, no matter how I
tried, I could not get a file_select to work with edit_line, now I can't get
the splitstring function to return a value regardless of what I do. For
example:
body common control
{
bundlesequence => {
"check_user_files"
};
inputs => {
"cfengine_stdlib.cf",
"library.cf"
};
}
bundle agent check_user_files
{
vars:
"HomeDirn" int => readstringarray(
"HomeDir",
"/etc/passwd",
".*:[*x]:([1-9]|\d{2}|1\d{1,2}|-2|204|205|430|65534|4294967294|1000):.*",
":",
"300",
"12000"
);
"HomeUsr" slist => getindices("HomeDir");
"HomeIni[$(HomeUsr)]" string => execresult("/usr/bin/find
$(HomeDir[$(HomeUsr)][5]) \
-path \"$(HomeDir[$(HomeUsr)][5])/.*\" -prune -type
f","noshell");
"IniFiles[$(HomeUsr)]" slist =>
splitstring("$(HomeIni[$(HomeUsr)])","[ \n]","999");
files:
"$(IniFiles[$(HomeUsr)])"
edit_line => ini_file_update,
edit_defaults => no_edit_backup;
reports:
hpux|linux::
"$(IniFiles$(HomeUsr))";
"$(HomeIni[$(HomeUsr)])";
}
bundle edit_line ini_file_update
{
replace_patterns:
"old_value"
replace_with => value("new_value");
}
body edit_defaults no_edit_backup
{
edit_backup => "false";
}
This produces the following:
cf3 .........................................................
cf3 Promise handle:

But the splitstring function evidently isn't returning anything (i.e., the
IniFiles array is null) which causes an error for the edit_line promise and the
first report promise.
Am I brain dead?
As always, all comments appreciated.
