I created a file I want all my other config files to import to inherit
groups and other settings. I call it CommonConfig.cf.
For normal operation, my cfagent.conf is nothing more than a list of
imports, with CommonConfig.cf listed first so all subsequent imports
inherit it.
I use the following import statement in cfagent.conf AND at the top of
all of my config files. This ensures that CommonConfig.cf is always
imported, even if I run a configuration file separately from
cfagent.conf.
######################################################################
# standard import
import:
!DefinedCommonControl::
/var/cfengine/inputs/lib/CommonControl.cf
You'll note the class DefinedCommonControl which I use to prevent
recursive imports. (which really happen and cause a runaway!)
At the top of CommonConfig.cf, is the following:
######################################################################
# classes
#
# Here we define the class that says we've loaded this library.
classes:
any::
DefinedCommonControl = ( any )
Once defined, it will not be imported again.
