surely that should be
#if $profile == 1
...
#end if
i.e. in your email you are not using a '$' symbol. Is this the case in
your snippet, also?
In addition, the $profile variable will not exist at the profile level -
systems have this, but profiles do not.
At that point, it'll be $name or $profile_name
the variable that exists at all levels here is $profile_name
Your snippet will not render because it has an 'if' test referencing a
variable that does not exist.
this might work (it does here)
#if $profile_name == 1
...
#end if
system records have a 'profile' property though.
you can see the variable settings like this:
cobbler profile dumpvars --name=your.profile.name | grep -i profile
as an example
for a system:
cobbler system dumpvars --name=rhel55-1.domain.tld | grep -i profile
profile : rhel-5.5-x86_64
profile_name : rhel-5.5-x86_64
but at the profile level...
# cobbler profile dumpvars --name=rhel-5.5-x86_64 | grep -i profile
profile_name : rhel-5.5-x86_64
