disable directory

[Warren Harris]

I'm trying to figure out how to make cfengine disable a directory. I've noticed several anomolies... With this command: disable:         /usr/local/apache/conf I get this message: Disable/rename checking /usr/local/apache/conf cfengine:prov3-pai: /usr/local/apache/conf is not a plain file - won't rename/disable without specific destination I'm not sure what a specific destination is, but I tried adding 'repository = ( /var/cfengine/backups )' in the control section and that made no difference. What I really want to do is replace the default /usr/local/apache/conf directory with a symbolic link to a different one. Since I couldn't figure out how to do this, I tried using the link command instead to link all the files under conf. Of course the plain -> version of link fails because the above disable fails, but this one sort-of works: links:         /usr/local/apache/conf +>! /home/default_user/apache/conf The weird thing is, with 'repository = ( /var/cfengine/backups )', all the old files under conf get moved there, but the directories don't: drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Jul 7 12:53 ./ drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Jul 7 12:57 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 348 Apr 29 11:52 access.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 348 Apr 29 11:52 access.conf.default lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Jul 7 12:44 devel.conf -> /home/default_user/apache/conf/devel.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Jul 7 12:44 httpd.conf -> /home/default_user/apache/conf/httpd.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 43740 Apr 29 11:52 httpd.conf.default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12965 Apr 29 11:52 magic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12965 Apr 29 11:52 magic.default lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Jul 7 12:44 mime.types -> /home/default_user/apache/conf/mime.types -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15020 Apr 29 11:52 mime.types.default lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 Jul 7 12:44 production.conf -> /home/default_user/apache/conf/production.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 Jul 7 12:44 README.html -> /home/default_user/apache/conf/README.html -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 357 Apr 29 11:52 srm.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 357 Apr 29 11:52 srm.conf.default drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 29 17:00 ssl.crl/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Jul 7 12:53 ssl.crt -> /home/default_user/apache/conf/ssl.crt/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 29 17:00 ssl.crt_1120765986_Thu_Jul__7_12_53_06_2005_.cfsaved.dir/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 29 17:00 ssl.csr/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Jul 7 12:53 ssl.key -> /home/default_user/apache/conf/ssl.key/ drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Apr 29 17:00 ssl.key_1120765986_Thu_Jul__7_12_53_06_2005_.cfsaved.dir/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 29 17:00 ssl.prm/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Jul 7 12:44 startup.pl -> /home/default_user/apache/conf/startup.pl lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Jul 7 12:44 user.conf -> /home/default_user/apache/conf/user.conf I've also tried linking everything under the apache directory, excluding everything _but_ conf, but this didn't seem to work either: links:         /usr/local/apache +>! /home/default_user/apache exclude=[^(conf)] This still seemed to link everything under the apache directory, not just conf. Any suggestions would be appreciated, Warren
