(Cfengine - 3.0.5, linux, solaris)
I am trying to copy a file from a server on which /src is nfs mounted (smells
like herring).
When the file /src/etc/defaultfoo exists, /etc/foo is updated correctly. If
/src/etc/defaultfoo
is a symbolic link, eg:
/src/etc/defaultfoo -> /etc/etc/DefaultFoo
the file is not copied. I don't want to copy the link, I am after the file it
is pointing to. How
do I get copy_from (or something else) to dereference the link?
bundle agent copystuff
{
files:
"/etc/foo"
copy_from => remote("thatserverthere.pri", "/src/etc/defaultfoo"),
action => immediate;
}
thanks,
-e
