Re: Strange behaviour with iteration with shellcommands

[Brendan Strejcek]

Not the prettiest thing in the world, but this works:

$ cat double_iter.cf
#!/usr/sbin/cfagent -qIKf

control:

    actionsequence = ( shellcommands )

    users = ( "user1:user2" )
    source = ( /tmp/source )
    target = ( /tmp/target )

shellcommands:

    "/bin/sh -c '
        VAR=${users}
        /bin/cp ${source}/${dollar}VAR/junk ${target}/${dollar}VAR/junk
        '
    "
$ find /tmp/{source,target} -type f | xargs md5sum
c3d2d686d0772358e0ff6689873df041  /tmp/source/user1/junk
fef1e0732d6b040c549ee00bf0969930  /tmp/source/user2/junk
$ ./double_iter.cf
