Hi all,

According to the FAQ entry at http://augeas.net/faq.html, the augtool command 
can be used to manipulate the tree from a script, but there doesn't seem to be 
a link to any documentation that would describe how to do this with working 
examples.

The closest I've found is the url 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9118123/using-sed-to-change-etc-fstab 
however trying to follow it's example I get augtool running silently with no 
error, but not doing anything to the file /etc/fstab:

augtool set '/files/etc/fstab/[file=/home/monica/foo]/file' /home/monica/foo
augtool set '/files/etc/fstab/[file=/home/monica/foo]/spec' 
/dev/vg001/home-monica-foo
augtool save

Does anyone have a working example of augtool being run from a script?

Not I.  Only using augeas from puppet thus far.

Does anyone know how to get some kind of diagnostics or debugging out of 
augtool, to confirm that it is actually doing anything?

I know that 'print /augeas//error' will give you debugging info.
