Hi Mark, Using ignore= would help me short term, but long-term there is no way to add each new directory that I add into the /etc directory to the ignore list. Sooner or later I (or somebody else) will add a directory and forget to put it in the ignore list. Is there any other way to NOT traverse any subdirectories EXCEPT the ones I want?
I have etc * |- ldap.conf |- pam.d * | +- system-auth | |- openldap * | +- ldap.conf | |- ha.d | +- <somefiles> +- ipsec.d |- autostart.d.___hq___ + <somefiles> The ones with the * are the files I want (ldap.conf, openldap/ldap.conf, pam.d/system-auth). I do NOT want ha.d, ipsec.d or autostart.d.___hq___ Thanks, MARK > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Burgess [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 12:42 AM > To: Mark > Cc: help-cfengine@gnu.org > Subject: Re: Copy command copies directories I don't want > > > ignore= > > On Tue, 2005-08-23 at 23:55 -0700, Mark wrote: > > $(config_download_dir)/etc/ > > trustkey=true > > action=fix > > dest=/etc/ > > r=inf > > mode=0644 > > owner=root > > group=root > > server=$(policy_host) > > include=hosts > > include=openldap/ldap.conf > > include=ldap.conf > > include=nsswitch.conf > > include=system-auth > > type=checksum > > > > The above configuration copies a folder > > /etc/ipsec.d/autostart.d.___hq___ from the policy host to the local > > /etc/ directory.
