Surprisingly, augtool get (or print) returns "path = value" while we are only interested in the value. We need to remove the "path = " part from the augtool's output. The following is an example of the augtool command as used in virt-sanlock-cleanup script: $ augtool get /files/etc/libvirt/qemu-sanlock.conf/disk_lease_dir /files/etc/libvirt/qemu-sanlock.conf/disk_lease_dir = /var/lib/libvirt/sanlock --- tools/virt-sanlock-cleanup.in | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/virt-sanlock-cleanup.in b/tools/virt-sanlock-cleanup.in index e0e8083..9855f42 100644 --- a/tools/virt-sanlock-cleanup.in +++ b/tools/virt-sanlock-cleanup.in @@ -26,7 +26,8 @@ fi LOCKSPACE="__LIBVIRT__DISKS__" -LOCKDIR=`augtool print '/files@sysconfdir(a)/libvirt/qemu-sanlock.conf/disk_lease_dir'` +LOCKDIR=`augtool get '/files@sysconfdir(a)/libvirt/qemu-sanlock.conf/disk_lease_dir'` +LOCKDIR=${LOCKDIR#* = } if test $? != 0 || test "x$LOCKDIR" = "x" ; then LOCKDIR="@localstatedir@/lib/libvirt/sanlock" fi -- 1.8.3.2
