Greetings,
I have been thinking about cfengine, and one item I would to do is run a
particular .cf file as standalone, or as a part of a larger configuration. For
example, consider the following two .cf files (promises.cf and standalone.cf):
==> promises.cf: <==
##########################################################################
body common control {
bundlesequence => { "standalone","local_bundle" };
inputs => { "standalone.cf" };
}
##########################################################################
body server control {
allowconnects => { "*" };
allowallconnects => { "*" };
trustkeysfrom => { "*" };
allowusers => { "root" };
cfruncommand => "$(sys.workdir)/bin/cf-agent -KB &&
$(sys.workdir)/bin/cf-agent";
}
##########################################################################
bundle agent local_bundle {
reports:
cfengine3::
"I am local_bundle agent and my imagination is a monastery and I am its
monk.";
}
##########################################################################
#
# more promises.cf type of definition's contain in this file
#
##########################################################################
==> standalone.cf <==
##########################################################################
body common control {
bundlesequence => { "standalone","something_else" };
}
##########################################################################
bundle agent standalone {
reports:
cfengine_3::
"I am standalone agent, whose name was writ in water";
}
##########################################################################
bundle agent something_else {
reports:
cfengine_3::
"I am something_else agent, nothing ever becomes real till it is
experienced.";
}
##########################################################################
Whoa! There are two bundlesequences! Am I insane! If you could ignore all
bundle sequences (and other promise.cf controls) except the one(s) contained in
promises.cf, you could run "cf-agent" or "cf-agent -f standalone.cf" (or
"cf-execd -Ff standalone.cf" for that matter).
The "cf-agent" run would not run the "something_else" bundle as it is not in
promises.cf bundle sequence. The "cf-agent -f standalone.cf" would run the
"something_else' bundle as it is contained in the bundle sequence of
standalone.cf
Am I making any sense?
It would be cool to run a single standalone.cf file (in this case) as
standalone or part of promises.cf.
