💖 CDIST-TYPE__CDISTMARKER 💖

okay bestie, so this is cdist-type__cdistmarker — the little type that leaves a timestamped cdist marker. it's giving "i was here" but make it infrastructure. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically this type drops a lil common marker file, right? and that file is the whole vibe check that says this machine is being managed by cdist. 💅

and the contents? just a timestamp, bestie. that's it. but the way that timestamp lets you figure out the most recent time cdist was run against the machine in question? iconic. genuinely so useful. no cap. 🕐✨

🎀 REQUIRED PARAMETERS 🎀

None. nope, nada, zero, nothing. she's low maintenance, she needs nothing from you. 🫶

🦋 OPTIONAL PARAMETERS 🦋

  • destination — the path and the filename of the marker, like the whole address of where she's gonna live. Default: /etc/cdist-configured 📍
  • format — the format of the timestamp. this gets passed directly to the system's date command, so whatever date likes, she likes. Default: -u ⏰

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

# Creates the marker as normal.
__cdistmarker

# Creates the marker differently.
__cdistmarker --destination /tmp/cdist_marker --format '+%s'

look at her go. first one is the default serve, second one is the custom order. both ate. 👑
