[Puppet Users] passing variables to static files

Hello All,

      I have quick question for you; How can I pass a variable to a
static file that I''m distributing via puppet?  i.g, :
class abc {
     file { "/etc/abc.conf":
           ensure => present
           source => "puppet:///sys/abc.conf}
          }


    puppet:///sys/abc.conf contains :

   rundir= /central/$hostname/
   logdir= $hostname.log

Can this be done?

You should probably look at using templates instead.

Re: [Puppet Users] passing variables to static files

As another option, I believe you can use:

       file { "/etc/abc.conf":
             ensure =>  present
             content =>  "rundir= /central/$hostname/\nlogdir= 
$hostname.log"
            }
