I would like to populate the custom_info from a system based variable, ie.: var set on system of like export SYS_VAR_HOST_JOB=SVNSRVR I would like this system based var to be imported and set in SW under custom info key SW_CUST_INF_HOST_JOB so that I can use it in scripts like {|rhn.system.custom_info(SW_CUST_INF_HOST_JOB) = $SYS_VAR_HOST_JOB On 17/03/11 22:55, Colin Coe wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:AANLkTikyexRE6yXy9qwOr+NPM7kzmFOFTPq_oOfadHD+@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">On Thu, Mar 17, 2011 at 6:00 PM, Kobus Bensch <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:kobus.bensch@lovefilm.com"><kobus.bensch@lovefilm.com></a> wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Hi everyone I am looking at custom info.

Case in point we have two data centres about 1600km apart. Nodes at location A use NFS server A, while those in location B use NFS server B. A simple script is used to set the nfs_server custom info key for each server and then the key is just referenced in the autofs file like: /fileshare -rw,hard,intr {| rhn.system.custom_info(nfs_server) = defaultnfs.company.com |}:/fileshare If the custom info key is not set for a server it will use 'defaultnfs.company.com'. I hope this is what you were after.
