Title: bashrc custom template
Post by: bluejay on July 22, 2014, 10:29:07 AM

When making changes to root/.bashrc and root/.bash_profile, is it best practice to do this via the template system?

I am just not sure whether the template system works for these files. Also will the template overwrite or append these files?

Thanks

(almost) everything can be templated..
the template will always overwrite the original file (the templated one)

more info in developer's manual

Thankyou. I had read the manual but it didn't mention which files could or couldn't be modified by the template system.

I have created and tested the templates and everything is working as expected.
