NAME

cdist - Configuration management
SYNOPSIS
--------
cdist [-h] [-b] [-c CDIST_HOME] [-d] [-i MANIFEST] [-p] [-s] [-V] [host [host ...]]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
cdist is the frontend executable to the cdist configuration management.
OPTIONS
-------
-h, --help::
Show the help screen
-d, --debug::
Enable debug output
-p, --parallel::
Parallelise backup processes
-V, --version::
Show version and exit
EXAMPLES
--------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Configure ikq05.ethz.ch with debug enabled
cdist -d ikq05.ethz.ch
__motd
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In both cases, cdist-type-emulator is called instead of a real type.
In the first case, the object id "/tmp/linetest" is recorded and the
parameter "line" stored with the content "test".
In the second case, __motd must be decleared as a singleton, as the
object id is missing.
