Copy single files
This is a standalone policy example that will copy single files,
locally (local_cp
) and from a remote site (secure_cp
).
The CFEngine Standard Library (cfengine_stdlib.cf) should be
included in the /var/cfengine/inputs/libraries/
directory and
inputs list as below.
body common control
{
bundlesequence => { "mycopy" };
inputs => { "libraries/cfengine_stdlib.cf" };
}
bundle agent mycopy
{
files:
"/tmp/test_plain" # Path and name of the file we wish to copy to
comment => "/tmp/test_plain promises to be an up-to-date copy of /bin/echo to demonstrate copying a local file",
copy_from => local_cp("/bin/echo"); # Copy locally from path/filename
"/tmp/test_remote_plain" # Path and name of the file we wish to copy to
comment => "Demonstrate remote file copying. /tmp/test_plain_remote promises to be a copy of cfengine://serverhost.example.org/repo/config-files/motd",
copy_from => secure_cp("/repo/config-files/motd","serverhost.example.org"); # Copy remotely from path/filename and specified host
}
