										 |  |  | Cdist allows you to centrally define a configurations for | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | UNIX systems and apply them. Cdist generally uses the push | 
					
						
							| 
									
										
										
										
											2010-09-30 22:00:03 +02:00
										 |  |  | approach (a server pushes out the configuration to the clients), | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | but can also be used the pull way (see cdist-push-pull(7)). | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Cdist is configured in shell syntax, which is "compiled" to an | 
					
						
							| 
									
										
										
										
											2011-02-02 21:54:30 +01:00
										 |  |  | internal configuration representation (cdist-cconfig(7)), which again | 
					
						
							| 
									
										
										
										
											2010-11-01 16:03:07 +01:00
										 |  |  | is used to generate an executable, which is run on the client | 
					
						
							| 
									
										
										
										
											2010-09-30 22:00:03 +02:00
										 |  |  | (see cdist-language(7), cdist-design(7)). |

							|  |  |  | a look at cdist-quickstart(7). |
