If you leave the dest= directive as a path with no filename, i.e.
dest=/tmp/, does that work? I don't have any examples of doing a copy
like that in my cf.* files, but I can't imagine any other way they would
have implemented iteration.

Hi, all,
I want to use a list to copy some files.
The tutorial manual said that the list can be use only in the "from" field
of a copy action:
It is convenient to be able to use such variables to force cfagent to
iterative over a list. This gives us a compact way of writing repeated
operations and it allows a simple method of communication with the shell
environment. For security reasons, iteration is supported only in the
following contexts:
* in the `from' field of a copy action
I write this little script:
...
control:
listOfFiles = ( foo:bar:baz )
...
copy:
any::
$(my_cfconfigs)/files/$(listOfFiles) dest=/tmp/$(listOfFiles)
server=$(policyhost)
...
But the above fails, since it try to copy every files (foo, then bar, then
baz) to /tmp/foo:bar:baz (the list in dest isn't split).
So how to write a copy action with a list of source files ?
Thanks in advance.
Yves
