Re: Evaluating a condition and exiting CFEngine

[christian pearce]

I have a setup where I break my code down into architecture and
content.  The content is all the policy you want to directly manage
your machines.  The architecture is all the bits required to get the
content delivered.  Each bit of content is in a separate file.

so what you can do is something like this

cfagent.conf:

groups:

    condition_exists = ( ChooseYourMethod )

import:

    !condition_exists::
        cf.content

cf.content might look like this:

import:

    cf.policy1
    cf.policy2
    [..etc..]

So in effect cfengine quits if the conition is found.  This happens
because non of the content is imported.  This is a course method, but
it works for me.  I make sure all the binaries I call are avaliable
before I import content.  It they aren't then I send out an alert.
