After finding the missing pages in my reference guide, I got my module
exporting an slist. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble expanding the list to use
it. I'm trying to use the "short-circuit" method described in the reference
manual, not sure why this isn't working ( output is "R: Test: $(homedirs)" );
bundle agent homedirs
{
vars:
ldap_users::
"homedirs" slist => { @(get_ldap_users.userlist) };
commands:
testhost::
"/var/cfengine/inputs/modules/get_ldap_users"
module => "true";
reports:
ldap_users::
"Test: $(homedirs)";
}
