Forum: CFEngine Help Subject: package list commands? Author: sauer Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,24642,24642#msg-24642
I'm defining a package_method which exists solely to determine if packages are installed or not. It will operate on rpm-based systems, so I'm basically just listing all of the packages and seting a verify command of /bin/true with a .* regex. This should allow me to use the verify method in a package promise to set a class if the desired package is installed. I don't want to run rpm every time cf-agent executes, though; I want to cache the package list and operate from that when possible. It's unclear to me, then, if I need to specify a package_list_command and/or a package_update_list_command in combination with the package_list_update_ifelapsed parameter. The documentation could perhaps use some enhancement here - but until that happens, anyone happen to know which combination I should use? _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
