| {{< CFEngine_function_prototype(filename, datestring, option) >}} | ||
|
|
||
| **Description:** Returns whether the file `filename` is older than some fuzzy time offset `datestring`. What file statistic is compared depends on the `option` argument. `"modify"` compares the time offset with the last modification, `"access"` with the last access and `"change"` with the last metadata change. `file_older_than` doesn't follow symlinks. | ||
|
|
||
| {{< CFEngine_function_attributes(filename, datestring, option) >}} | ||
|
|
||
| The function uses under the hood `date --date <str> +%s` from GNU coreutils, located at `/var/cfengine/bin/date` | ||
|
|
||
| **Example:** | ||
|
|
||
| ```cf3 | ||
| body common control | ||
| { | ||
| bundlesequence => { "init", "main" }; | ||
| } | ||
|
|
||
| bundle agent init | ||
| { | ||
| files: | ||
| "/tmp/myfile.txt" create => "true"; | ||
|
|
||
| commands: | ||
| "/bin/sleep" args => 10; | ||
| } | ||
|
|
||
| bundle agent main | ||
| { | ||
| classes: | ||
| "is_8sec_old" expression => file_older_than("/tmp/myfile.txt", "8 seconds"); | ||
|
|
||
| reports: | ||
| is_8sec_old:: | ||
| "/tmp/myfile.txt is older than 8 seconds"; | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
