Hello
So I guess then you will never be able to copy from a master user directory
to the main user directory using
iteration. For example
control:
testcmd = ( "/bin/cp" )
homedir = ( "/home/Accounts" )
masterdir = ( "/var/cfengine/master-files/home/Accounts" )
name = ( "user1:user2" )
actionsequence = ( shellcommands )
shellcommands:
"$(testcmd) $(masterdir)/$(name)/master-value
$(homedir)/$(name)/value"
Is there any other way to do this.
Thanks
