hello list,
i am doing some testing with cfengine3 and i am having trouble figuring
out how to do conditional command execution. the specific example i am
trying to get working is as follows:
- the client copies in /etc/ssh/sshd_config from the server
files:
"/etc/ssh/sshd_config"
perms => mog("644", "root", "wheel"),
copy_from =>
secure_cp("$(g.masterfiles)/config/etc/ssh/sshd_config", "$(g.phost)");
- if the existing /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the client is up-to-date, do
nothing, but if it had to be modified then issue 'pkill -HUP sshd' on
the client so that sshd re-reads its config file
since issuing 'pkill -HUP sshd' will close all existing ssh sessions i
would rather not run the command unless it is required i.e.
/etc/ssh/sshd_config has changed. i have verified that the copying of
sshd_config works fine sans the conditional command.
having looked through the documentation i don't see an elegant way to do
what i describe above. i would appreciate a tip on how to effect this
and/or a pointer to where i could have found this in the docs.
cheers,
jake
