Re: Iteration Help

[Paul Krizak]

Yes, this is exactly what iteration does in this case.

Just be sure you set "split" to an appropriate split character.  We use 
"%" since it's an uncommon character.

control:
any:: split = ( "%" )
any:: rmrpms = ( "sudo%mutt%magicdev%lam" )

shellcommands:
any:: "/$(rpmprog) $(rpmrem) $(rmrpms)"
