CDIST-TYPE__HOSTS(7)

NAME

cdist-type__hosts - manage entries in /etc/hosts

DESCRIPTION

Add or remove entries from /etc/hosts file.

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

state
    If state is present, make object_id resolve to ip. If state is absent, object_id will no longer resolve via /etc/hosts, if it was previously configured with this type. Manually inserted entries are unaffected.

ip  IP address, to which hostname (=object_id) must resolve. If state is present, this parameter is mandatory, if state is absent, this parameter is silently ignored.

EXAMPLES

# Now `funny' resolves to 192.168.1.76,
__hosts funny --ip 192.168.1.76
# and `happy' no longer resolve via /etc/hosts if it was
# previously configured via __hosts.
__hosts happy --state absent
