DESCRIPTION

|
|
|
Cdist explorer are small shell scripts, which will be executed
|
|
|
|
|
on the target host. The aim of the explorer is to give hints
|
|
|
|
|
to types on how to act on the target system.

|
The explorer output the result of its investigation
|
|
|
|
|
to stdout and should be a one-liner. The output may be empty,
|
|
|
|
|
though.

Cdist knows about general explorers, which are run in an early
|
|
|
|
|
stage and type specific explorers. Both work exactly the same way,
|
|
|
|
|
with the difference that the values of the general explorers
|
|
|
|
|
are stored in a general location and the type specific below
|
|
|
|
|
the types.

|
Explorers can reuse other explorers on the target system
|
|
|
|
|
by calling ./<explorer_name> (i.e. explorers are run
|
|
|
|
|
from their location).

|
|
In case of significant errors, the shell script may exit
|
|
|
|
|
non-zero and return an error message on stderr, which
|
|
|
|
|
will cause the cdist run to abort.
