I guess I'm facing a typical beginners problem, however, I didn't find a
solution.
I'm checking the existence of a directory. If it's not there, I'm going to
extract a tarball which creates it and some other files. This works very
fine. However the extracting of the tarball is done sometimes to
Hi,
Maybe you could use something like this :
bundle agent check_nagios_installation {
files:
"${nagios_install_dir}/"
create => "true",
comment => "Creating nagios directory",
classes => if_repaired("not_nagios_installed");
commands:
not_nagios_instal
Hi Nicolas,
I tried your example and this is what happened:
- the nagios directory is created (which should lead to creating the class
'not_nagios_installed')
- the extraction of the tarball does not happen at all
Having a look at the output of the agent there's no evidence that anything
is ha
Verbose output might be better than debug output for discovering faults.
Also it might be more efficient to have CF copy the files recursively than
copying a tar ball and then extracting it. You'll have greater
reliability too as CF will log any problems during the copy.

Following your advice concerning copying instead of extracting a tarbal I
have implemented this:
158 bundle agent check_nagios_installation {
159
160 files:
161 "/usr/local/nagios/."
162 comment => "Creating Nagios installation",
163 depth_search => recurse("in
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding but it seems to me that warning actions are
outside of the normal promise classes. It would be nice if instead they
were a fourth class. For example consider this promise.
files:
any::
"/tmp/foo"
action => warn_now,
We've all been or are still there. CF's promise theory offers a different
way of thinking. It's takes some time to adjust to it. Think of it like
calculus. For a while your brain just explodes but, eventually it starts
to make sense.

Regarding your original case, it would be more natural to use isdir()
rather than fileexists() (though both should work). I can't replicate
any problems with either isdir() or fileexists() though. I also tried
interpolating a variable into the path checked for, because that seems
like a likely plac
This is reliable, but not very efficient. It requires at least 2N file
checksum calculations (where N is the number of files in the tree
being copied or verified) on every pass. You are also using 2N space,
since you are storing a copy in ${sys.workdir} to compare against.
Another suggestion: use

Here's a very simple example of something that looks like it should work
and doesn't. My question is should I find a different way of doing
this, or should this work?
This will just put "server 10.90.34.15" into the file, but not the other
line.
bundle agent ntp {
vars:
"ntpserver

I have a theoretical question regarding updates of cfengine binaries on
Solaris systems. I've not tested this yet, so I'm just looking for
comments from anyone who has experience with this. If cfengine is
installed as a package, when cfengine pulls updated binaries from the
policy server, that woul
This was the approach I was going to try next. I just didn't know if
what I did should work.
Thanks,

This is something that you will need to test on a spare box, but I
think you are correct that the Solaris package manager would get in
the way.
You could use Cfengine to schedule an at or cron job to do the upgrade.

If I understand you correctly you have a problem with two masters. CF is
updating binaries but so is the Solaris package manager. Only one service
should be in charge of keeping CF binaries up to date. Either is fine but
be consistent.

Yes, that's the basic problem. I don't see how it's possible to use Cfengine's
package management facility to handle updating the Solaris Cfengine package,
given there's no package update/upgrade command on Solaris, only pkgrm and

Can I get examples of uncommenting lines from other cf3 users?
Commenting is straightforward with replace_with, but uncommenting seems
non-trivial. I thought about using getfields(), using my comment character
as a delimiter, to stuff the remainder of the line into a variable I could
then use wit
actually it is very trivial.
just use a regular expression to match the part of the string excluding the
comment, and then replace the string with $(match.1)
i.e. if a commented line was:

You could use a regex like:
#\s+(.*)
And replace it with
$(match.1)
