Hi, we've been experiencing a bug lately whereby shell commands are not
executing correctly. We have tracked the problem down to the fact that
we split out our copies into many different files, which are imported by
cf.copy.
We are running CFEngine 2.2.3 on RHEL 4.2.
Example:
###################################################
#
# BEGIN cf.copy
#
###
import:
any::
/data01/cfengine/inputs/copy.d/copy.hosts
/data01/cfengine/inputs/copy.d/copy.ntp.conf
...
copy:
...
###################################################
$ cat copy.d/copy.hosts
# /etc/hosts
copy:
(group_c.group_a).group_b::
$(filestore)/hosts dest=/etc/hosts
mode=444 o=root g=root type=checksum
server=$(policyhost)
###################################################
$ cat copy.d/copy.ntp.conf
# /etc/ntp.conf
copy:
linux::
$(filestore)/ntp.conf dest=/etc/ntp.conf
mode=444 o=root g=root type=checksum
server=$(policyhost)
define=ntp_restart
###################################################
For certain files (like the ntp.conf above) we would like to restart
ntpd afterwards. Now, this was working fine before we started splitting
files out into separate imports, but it's not working now. If we move
the class definition for the ntp.conf back into the main cf.copy, things
work perfectly.
We have a very large environment, with dozens of managed files, so we
would really like to stick with this method of splitting out files and
importing them, but these issues are really starting to cause problems.
Has anyone seen this before? Has anyone reported this bug before?
Thanks,
James Cammarata
