RE: copy action trigger another action

[Zhang, Anchi]

That is something desirable.  At the moment, I am resorting to something like

shellcommands:
        solaris::
                '/bin/find /etc/mail/aliases -mtime -1 -exec /bin/newaliases {} 
\;'

after copy.

Subject: copy action trigger another action


I'm interested in people's thoughts on whether it would be useful to
have successful copies trigger an action. I'm thinking along the lines
of sending a HUP to a daemon when it's config file is updated.

With most daemons it is fine to simply HUP every time cfagent runs, but
with syslog-over-tcp my connections drop and have to restablish every
time the syslog daemon is HUP'd. During the period that the connection
is waiting to re-establish (one minute) the buffering logs might
overflow and start getting dropped before being sent on to the loghost
when the connection is re-established.

I'd imagine I could write a cfengine module to do this, but I'm not much
of a programmer and would rather it was implemented in the core and done
Right(tm).

Thoughts?
