RE: Copy+editfiles

[Martin, Jason H]

The only problems I see with that is that myfile's contents will
temporarily be 'wrong' every run (the space between the copy and edit),
and it would be difficult to key an action off of the change of myfile
(ie, restart the application) as it is changing every 30 minutes.
However, it is simpler then a huge editfiles stanza.

Thank you,
-Jason Martin

Of course. Make a masterfile template and copy the file
based on date. Use something like XXX for the hostname,

copy:

  mysourcefile dest=myfile define=copied

editfiles:

  copied::

    { myfile
    ReplaceAll "XXX" With "$(host)"
    }
