Usage

Reference

Classes etc_profile::sh and etc_profile::csh

These are usually never called on their own, as tehy only set up the requirements for site_profile::entry's. The only reason to call them is to change the OS defaults. It is preferred to open an issue if your OS isn't supported, and we'll add it to the module's data.

Defined Type site_profile::entry

This is the main resource you'll be using to add new profile entries. A profile entry is merely a Bourne or C shell script that will be added to system profiles.

Parameters

• name String (Alphanum, Namevar) name of the resource
• config Hash to add additional File parameters, e.g. mode
• type Enum[sh|csh] script type

Examples

See Synopsis.

Limitations

Currently only supports RedHat and Debian OS families.
