The only way to do that is to set a class in editfiles and then react to
that in control:

control:
  AddInstallable = ( dosomething )

editfiles:
  { /path/to/file
    HashCommentLinesMatching "127.0.0.1"
    Define "dosomething"
  }

control:
  dosomething::
    var = ( newvalue )

shellcommands:
  "/bin/do something ${var}"

The only ways to set variables in cfengine are in the control action or
via methods or modules.
