Re: [atomic-devel] ISO for cloud-init

Heres a runcmd section from one of my user-data files I use with Atomic:

runcmd:
# Workaround until power_state is included in cloud.cfg 5 min delay is a guess
- [ /usr/sbin/shutdown, -r, "+5", "Restarting" ]
- [ /bin/systemctl, daemon-reload ]
- [ /bin/systemctl, enable, cockpitws.service ]
- [ /bin/systemctl, daemon-reexec ]

This format has been the best for parsing cleanly, with each arg quoted.

HTH,

hi, thanks. but This is a nice working example of redhat's FAQ also has. What i'm looking to do is extend user-data to run some commands, or even better to call a shell script. I don't know if runcmd can do that. I'll keep googling for examples I guess, just thought i'd check here first.
