Perfect, this works fine - but you have to use backticks. I guess the
$(..) construct clashes with cfe's dual way of acessing variables
($(var) and ${var}). I always thought cfe should stick with ${var}
only (I do), but I guess that would break a lot of policies out there.
Anyways, problem solved, below is the updated complete example.
Thanks,
Erlend
root@canal:master$ cat tester-0.cf
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
body common control{
bundlesequence=>{"tester"};
}
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
bundle agent tester{
commands:
any::
"/usr/bin/echo `/usr/bin/hostname`",
contain=>use_shell;
}
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
body contain use_shell{
useshell =>"true";
}
root@canal:master$ /var/cfengine/bin/cf-agent -f ./tester-0.cf
Q: "...r/bin/echo `/us": canal
I: Last 1 quoted lines were generated by promiser "/usr/bin/echo
`/usr/bin/hostname`"
