Ph.pl: A Permissions harvester for CFEngine

From Cfwiki

Ph.pl

Permissions harvester for CFEngine.

Prints CFEngine file statements for each file/dir encountered onto STDOUT.

Typical usage is pipe files from a find to this script while capturing the output to a file, and then adding it to a CFEngine configuration file.

For instance:

    find / -type file | ./ph.pl -fc > newscript.cf

The purpose of this script is to enable an admin to take a snapshot of a new system and have CFEngine enforce the existing permissions.

[Note to author of this page: if you're going to post a link to a tarball of your script, could you please include a version number in the tarball (like blahblah-1.00.tar.gz) so people can track updates? Also, I think it may still have a '@' in double-quoted string bug? Frankly, best would be if you just paste short scripts like this right into the wiki!]

Note This more or less does the same on linux:

 find / -type f -printf "%p o=%u g=%g mode=%m act=fixplain ch=md5\n"
