I’m running cfengine 3.0.4 and am trying to create a symlink from
/root/.profile to /.profile and cant seem to get the syntax correct. Here’s
what I’ve got...
In my promices.cf, I’m importing the following:
inputs => {
"update.cf",
"cfengine_stdlib.cf",
"verify_root.cf",
In cfengine_stdlib.cf , it defines the ln_s link_from body to create symlinks.
body link_from ln_s(x)
{
link_type => "symlink";
source => "$(x)";
when_no_source => "force";
}
In verify_root.cf, I’m executing the following:
bundle agent verify_root
{
files:
sunos_5_10::
"/root/.profile"
link => ln_s("/.profile");
}
I know I’m calling this incorrectly, cause I get all sorts of nasty errors on
the client side.
# /var/cfengine/bin/cf-agent -I -K
cf3:/var/cfengine/inputs/verify_root.cf:30,28: Constraint lvalue link is not
allowed in bundle category 'files', near token ')'
Body type mismatch for body reference "ln_s" in promise at line 30 of
/var/cfengine/inputs/verify_root.cf
I’ve also tried the following:
"/root/.profile"
ln_s("/.profile");
Which spits back a ton of syntax errors:
# /var/cfengine/bin/cf-agent -I -K
cf3:/var/cfengine/inputs/verify_root.cf:30,7: syntax error, near token '('
cf3:/var/cfengine/inputs/acct_manager.cf:1,12: Something defined outside of a
block or missing punctuation in input, near token '/.profile"'
cf3:/var/cfengine/inputs/acct_manager.cf:1,12: syntax error, near token
'/.profile"'
cf3:/var/cfengine/inputs/acct_manager.cf:1,13: Something defined outside of a
block or missing punctuation in input, near token ')'
cf3:/var/cfengine/inputs/acct_manager.cf:1,13: syntax error, near token ')'
cf3:/var/cfengine/inputs/acct_manager.cf:1,14: Something defined outside of a
block or missing punctuation in input, near token ';'
cf3:/var/cfengine/inputs/acct_manager.cf:1,14: syntax error, near token ';'
cf3:/var/cfengine/inputs/acct_manager.cf:2,1: Something defined outside of a
block or missing punctuation in input, near token '}'
cf3:/var/cfengine/inputs/acct_manager.cf:2,1: syntax error, near token '}'
What is the correct syntax to call the ln_s body link_from stanza when trying
to create a symlink? Trying to read through the reference manual, this isn’t
very clear on how this should be called.
Cheers
Mike
