I have a situation, many of them in fact, where I want to create a
template file, make multiple edits to it, and then restart a service
if the destination file is updated. How can I manage my editfiles
without restarting the service every time cfengine runs?
I could do my editfiles on "$(FileSource)/common/etc/inetd.conf"; but
then that file would be copied from the masterfiles server every time
cfengine runs.
How have you solved this problem?
For example:
I have a default inetd.conf file, with sshd in it.
--
copy::
$(FileSource)/common/etc/inetd.conf
dest=/etc/inetd.conf
mode=664 owner=root group=wheel
--
Some hosts run ftp, others run nntp:
--
editfiles:
ftp-server::
{ /etc/inetd.conf
AppendIfNoSuchLine "ftp stream tcp nowait root
/usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l"
DefineClasses "newinetd"
}
nntp-server::
{ /etc/inetd.conf
AppendIfNoSuchLine "nntp stream tcp nowait news
/usr/local/libexec/nntpd nntpd"
DefineClasses "newinetd"
}
--
Then I restart inetd if the config file changed:
--
shellcommands:
newinetd::
"/etc/rc.d/inetd restart"
--
This will modify inetd.conf, and thus restart inetd, every time.
