When starting with cdist, the documentation and examples can be
overwheliming. Further more, sometimes one would only want to do a
simple test to see if the basics are working. One such example currently
is to create a simple remote file. While this is a nice and simple
example, an even simpler example would be to just see if we can 'ping'
the host.
Other configuration management tools also seem to have this as a basic
starting command.
This thus allows to do:
echo __ping | cdist config --initial-manifest - <host>
as the most basic, most simple command to 'test' things with, without
having lingering files to boot.
