I was hoping somebody with some cfe3 experience would answer this question. In cfengine 2 I "solved" this problem by using a temporary directory to build the templates, something like this: actionsequence = ( copy.temp, editfiles, copy.finish, services) copy.temp: <Update /masterfiles from server> <Copy the template from /masterfiles to /construction> editfiles.service1: <make changes to file in /construction> editfiles.host1: <make other changes> copy.finish <copy file from /construction to destination> <define 'service_restart' if it's different> services.service_restart <restart the service> -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers-- _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
