multiple directives that add, rather than replace
Posted: Wed Feb 16, 2011 12:02 pm
I checked the docs and did some forum search, but couldn't find the answer to this one.
Is there a way to make multiple directives in an object definition add, rather than only the last one being recognized?
An example would be: In a Service definition, I have a lot of hosts I'd like to include under a "host_name" definition. There must be some line length limit on definitions, but it would also be easier to organize if I could have multiple definitions like:
host_name host1, host2, host3
host_name hostA, hostB
Turns out that only the last directive (hostA and hostB) get included in the Service definition.
Perhaps something like shell, where you can have multiple statements like: PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
