Forum: CFEngine Help Subject: Motd generation Author: crd Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,23623,23623#msg-23623
Hello, I'm trying to generate an motd which has the output from uname on the first line, then static text from a template from there onwards. At the moment I'm going down the path of having a template file containing 2 variables [ $(uname_output) and $(static_message) ] and having cfengine expand the variables. I can use the readfile() function to get the contents of the static file into a variable, but I can't find a way to run uname and capture the output into a variable. Is there a way to do this? Or better still is there a more standard way to do this? I get the feeling I'm abusing the cfengine architecture with this method. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
