GNU cfengine
3.23 links
The symbolic links function is one of the greatest plusses in cfengine
as a system administration tool. It allows you to do two things: check
single links for correctness and consistency (or make them if they do
not exist), and check or make links to every file in a designated
directory. This latter feature is called multiple linking or linking
children. The linkchildren feature is also available from the
files action See section 3.16 files. The syntax of a link item is:
| |
from-link ->[!] to-object
or
from-link +>[!] to-object
type=symbolic/absolute/abs/hard/relative/rel
copy=pattern
recurse=number/inf/0
copytype=checksum/ctime
include=pattern
exclude=pattern
ignore=pattern
action=silent
deadlinks=kill/force
define=classlist
nofile=kill/force
syslog=true/on/false/off
inform=true/on/false/off
|
The special variable $(binserver) can be used in links.
