About the closest I'm aware of for this is the -D option. This would be the equivalent of passing your script a flag as opposed to passing it an argument; you'll have to have the pattern(s) pre-defined in the script, or read them from a file. While this would be a crummy decision if cfengine was a scripting language, cfengine isn't really a scripting language. The usage you're describing is more of a one-time deal, while cfengine is intended to describe a long-term "this is how things should always work". Since it's a long-term language, things like this would be more reasonably stored in a file which allows somewht dynamic discovery, or just stored directly in the promises. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
