I have never used this method per se, but in general in any script if you want to preserve the $ (dollar sign) or variable name you must use a backslash to preserve it. For example change your $CONF to \$CONF. The $CONF should then be printed into your conf file.

Subject: Problems with my simple write conf files method
I have been creating conf files and similar with the following method
that I picked up (I think from psotfix docs):
cat <<EOF>>/etc/aliases || exit 1
root: youremail
EOF
See: http://medon.htt-consult.com/Centos7-armv7.html
But with postfixadmin I stumbled onto a problem. The following:
cat <<EOF>/usr/share/postfixadmin/config.local.php || exit 1
<?php
$CONF['database_type'] = 'mysqli';
$CONF['database_user'] = 'postfix';
$CONF['database_password'] = 'xyz';
$CONF['database_name'] = 'postfix';
$CONF['configured'] = true;
?>
EOF
produces:
cat <<EOF>/usr/share/postfixadmin/config.local.php || exit 1
<?php
['database_type'] = 'mysqli';
['database_user'] = 'postfix';
['database_password'] = 'xyz';
['database_name'] = 'postfix';
['configured'] = true;
?>
That is the '$CONF' gets processed.
What can I do to avoid this (and any other 'gotchas') or can someone
provide an alternative?
thanks
