Hi,
I've got a 'define' that I use to set kernel parameters in
/etc/sysctl.conf using the augeas type. It works well, but I'd like
to be able to add a comment line directly above my the parameter to
explain what it does and why it's been changed. We currently just add
a comment in site.pp, but that's not much use to local admins.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any way of inserting arbitrary
strings using augeas. I tried the 'insert' command, but after some
reading I understand now that ins/insert is only meant for controlling
where a parameter should be put in the file.
Here's a simplified version of a (broken) sysctl define. I know why
this doesn't work - it's just to give an idea of what I'd like to get
working!
define sysctl::config ($value, $comment) {
augeas { "sysctl_$name":
context => "/files/etc/sysctl.conf",
changes => [
"set $name $value",
"insert '# ${comment}' before $name",
],
onlyif => "get $name != $value",
}
}
Anyone have any ideas?
TIA,
Bryan
