Here is a real life example. For each "purge" directory you must create a
directory on the policy server:
{{{
bundle agent daily {
methods:
any::
"any" usebundle => mirror_copy("$(g.policyserver)", "/usr/sara");
}
bundle agent mirror_copy(server, source_dir)
{
vars:
any::
"bundle_dir" string => "/data/cfengine3/data/bundles/mirror_copy";
"exclude_list" slist => { ".svn" };
files:
any::
"$(source_dir)"
comment => "Make sure that directries will be mirrored",
copy_from => sync_cp("$(bundle_dir)/$(source_dir)", "$(server)"),
depth_search => recurse_ignore("inf", "@(exclude_list)" ),
action => if_elapsed(0);
}
body link_from force_symlink
{
when_no_source => "force";
}
}}}
sync_cp and recurse_ignore are defined in the standard cfengine library.
The placeholder files are created in the policy server host.
