Re: [CentOS] Problem with definition of slist in CFEngine

2018-07-26 Thread Paul Heinlein
ervice cfengine3.service is inactive at the moment: # systemctl is-active cfengine3.service inactive I have a problem with the definition of the stringlist/slist "info_list". In some cases it becomes some kind of "undefined" or at least I'm not able to print it out in a report (in "r1:"). Two related questions: Is there any chance that some elements of your info_list become larger than 4K size limit cfengine places on scalar variables? Similarly, I wonder if the 4K size limit comes into play when a list is interpolated into a string, as in your r1 report. I'm merely speculating; I don't know one way or the other. Plus, I've never tried defining a slist with a comma after the final element. I assume that works for you, but I'll just note it for the record. -- Paul Heinlein heinl...@madboa.com 45°38' N, 122°6' W ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
