You may also want to try using copy_type => "exists" (which is the seed copy), combined with convergent file edits (cfe wont reapply file-edits that are already present. On Wed, Nov 17, 2010 at 7:31 AM, Seva Gluschenko wrote: > for example, > > classes: >    "do_it" not => fileexists("/tmp/foo");

create file if non-existant

Hello, What's the best method to have cfengine create a file (and do a few edit_line's on it) without modifying it if it exists? For example, I would like cfengine to seed a file but not modify it again afterwards. I suppose I'm looking for some kind of conditional that might help. Thanks, __
