rules.xml example using custom rules?

4 Feb 2004

      Hi,

has anybody an examples rules.xml that uses custom1-5 rules?
We want to determine the machine specific configuration
(hostname, IP address settings) via rules.

According to rules.dtd such a rule could look like this

    <rule>
       <custom1>
            <script>/path/to/some/script.sh</script>
            <match>machine1</match>
            <match_type>equal</match_type>
       </custom>
       <result>
            <profile>machine1.xml</profile>
            <continue config:type="boolean">false</continue>
        </result>
    </rule>

Is it correct that <script> contains a script path or does it contain
the script body like the following?

    <rule>
       <custom1>
            <script>
<![CDATA[
#!/bin/sh

# Try to determine value of boot parameter
$machine=$(cat /proc/cmdline | grep "name=")
echo $machine 

]]>

            </script>
            <match>machine1</match>
            <match_type>equal</match_type>
       </custom>
       <result>
            <profile>machine1.xml</profile>
            <continue config:type="boolean">false</continue>
        </result>
    </rule>
