Have you ever thought, "Gee, I love the power of cfengine syntax, I just wish I
could script it like perl or shell script." Well, what's stopping you.
% cat hello.cf
#!/var/cfengine/bin/cf-agent -Kf
##########################################################################
body common control {
bundlesequence => { "hello" };
}
##########################################################################
bundle agent hello {
reports:
cfengine_3::
"Hello, world";
}
##########################################################################
% ./hello.cf
R: Hello, world
Why would you want to do this? Say you have a crontab entry to make sure
cf-execd is running.
50 * * * * /var/cfengine/bin/cf-agent -Kf cf_verify.cf > /dev/null 2>&1 # CF3
why not do
50 * * * * /var/cfengine/cf_verify.cf
Impress your friends and family, be the life of the party!
