When I do "cp /usr/lib/libz.so.1 ." I get a file "libz.so.1" in my current
directory, which is not a symbolic link, but a copy of the file the link was
pointing to, say "/usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.3.3".
Is there a way I can do a similar copy using copy_from? That is to say, I

Hi, Mike. Thanks for your reply. I agree that keeping this promise

I don't know if maybe GNU had it first, but ‘-q’ is specified by POSIX
(
I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to achieve
I think it would be :
"Has_ce_nic" expression => returnszero("/bin/grep \"ce\"
/etc/path_to_inst >/dev/null 2>&1 ", "useshell");
if you want to match ce
or
"Has_ce_nic" expression => returnszero("/bin/grep '\"ce\"'
/tmp/path_to_inst >/dev/
It would be a whole lot easier if returnszero just worked I think.

It makes sense to do something if a file exists or not (you can do that now),
and likewise if a file is of zero-size or not (not currently possible, but a

In my experiments with the default bundle so far, it seems to be set

The one issue I found with the default bundle, is that it called 'dpkg -l'
