Thanks, Tokarski.
I had to tweak your suggestion a bit and it worked. Here is my config file for
others who may need it as well.
/tmp/templates/copy_local_folder.cf
"#
# testing cfengine with following:
# copy local folder
#
body common control
{
bundlesequence => { "createFile" , "copyLocalFolder" };

require_comments => "true";
inputs => { "/var/cfengine/inputs/cfengine_stdlib.cf"
};
version => "1.0";
}
body agent control
{
verbose => "true";
}
bundle agent createFile
{
files:
#
# the stanza below creates folders and file if it does not exist
#
"/tmp/test/create_folder1/create_file4.txt"
comment => "create file",

}
bundle agent copyLocalFolder
{
files:
"/tmp/test/create_folder1/copy_local_folder"
comment => "copy local folder",
include_dirs => { "/etc/cron.*" },
depth_search => recurse("inf"),
file_select => folders("/cron.*"),
preserve => "true",
copy_from => local_cp("/etc");
}
body file_select folders(x)
{

file_result => "path_name";
}"

Hello, J,
Have a look at
http://www.cfengine.org/manuals/cf3-reference.html#file_005fselect-in-files
Basically you need a well-written file_select stanza, I believe this should
work (this is just out of my head, you need to test it yourself:
body file_select cronfiles
{
path_name => { "cron.* };
file_result => "path_name";
}
bundle agent copyLocalFolder
{
files:
"/data/test/create_folder1/copy_local_folder"
comment => "copy local folder",
depth_search => recurse("inf"),
preserve => "true",
copy_from => local_cp("/etc"),
file_select => cronfiles;
}
Best regards,
B

Thanks, B. I was able to implement you suggestions....at least most of it. I
still have an issue though. The configuration below copies all the /etc/cron*
folders and files. However, it also copies all the files in /etc/*. I tried
testing with exclude_dirs but as its description specifies, it only affects
directories. Is there a way to just copy /etc/cron*?

Subject: Re: Cfengine Help: Copying Local Folder
Hello,
I would like to copy the folders /etc/cron* and its contents to another
location. However, I still end up copying the whole /etc directory.
Well, this should be feasible :)
bundle agent copyLocalFolder
{
files:
"/tmp/test/create_folder1/copy_local_folder"
comment => "copy local folder",
preserve => "true",
depth_search => allofit("99999999999"),
exclude_dirs => { "*" },
include_dirs => { "cron" },
copy_from => myLocalCopy("/etc/.");
}
Looks wrong to me. Have a look at
http://www.cfengine.org/manuals/cf3-reference.html#Pattern-matching-and-referencing
The thing is you are using shell-type pattern * instead of perl-compatible ones
.*
Also this stanza looks pretty valid as to copy /etc directory to
/tmp/.../copy_local_folder. Did you mean to put something like /etc/cron.*?
For depth_search you can use "inf", it's much better than specifying any
constant integer.
body depth_search allofit(d)
{
depth => "$(d)";
}
body copy_from myLocalCopy(from)
{
source => "$(from)";
}"
I saw you included cfengine_stdlib.cf. You can actually use recurse(depth) and
local_cp(from) body from there instead of rewriting your own.
Best regards,
B
