I am the only user on the box, -this is all part of the %post element of a Kickstart file. No one's on there, heh. But I see what you mean. If this were not the only cron job on the machine, i'd probably entertain the single-file/single-job tactic. This particular question was aimed at adding the final line in a kickstart post-install script, e.g. modifying crontab in an automatic way to complete a given server build. Specifically the local changes a system gets to make it ready for Nagios monitoring, prior, I needed to manually visit all the machines i'd built and crontab -e. But then a phone rings, or a pager goes off, or a human appears, wanting something, heh. Automatic is the way.
I use include statements RCS and 'here' documents to accomplish this sort of thing so I can have local customisations per-host but also a log of the changes in revision control. So I'd have something like a centos4-install-ks.cfg called via PXE and in that... # Setup users and their authorized_keys %include /mnt/ks/kickstart/include/users-and-keys.cfg # Setup secure SSHD configuration %include /mnt/ks/kickstart/include/secure-sshd.cfg # Setup Sudo %include /mnt/ks/kickstart/include/sudo.cfg # Setup Nagios Remote Plugin Execution %include /mnt/ks/kickstart/include/nagios-nrpe.cfg And in each of those, nagios-nrpe.cfg for example something like... # Install and setup nagios configuration yum -y install nagios-nrpe mkdir -p /etc/nagios/RCS mkdir -p /etc/xinetd.d/RCS ci -t-'Nagios Remote Plugin Exection configuration.' -u /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg ci -t-'Nagios NRPE xinetd configuration.' -u /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe co -l /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg co -l /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe cat <<EOF > /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg # # Nagios Remote Plugin Exection configuration. # # \$Id\$ # # FILE UNDER RCS, DO NOT EDIT WITHOUT CHECKING OUT!!! server_port=5666 # allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1 nrpe_user=nagios nrpe_group=nagios dont_blame_nrpe=0 debug=0 command_timeout=60 command[check_users]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_users -w 5 -c 10 command[check_load]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20 command[check_disk1]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p /dev/mapper/vg00-lv00 command[check_zombie_procs]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 5 -c 10 -s Z command[check_total_procs]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 150 -c 200 EOF cat <<EOF > /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe # default: off # description: NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor) service nrpe { flags = REUSE type = UNLISTED port = 5666 socket_type = stream wait = no user = nagios group = nagios server = /usr/sbin/nrpe server_args = -c /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg --inetd log_on_failure += USERID disable = no only_from = 127.0.0.1 X.X.X.X X.X.X.X } EOF ci -m'Kickstart: Setting up default NRPE configuration.' -u /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg ci -m'Kickstart: Setting up default NRPE Xinetd configuration.' -u /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe # vim:sb:ai:sw=4:expandtab Will. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
