What are the components of a ruleList?

Each ruleList can contain one or more <compareText>, <fileTest>, <fileContentTest> or any other rule sections. <compareText> text comparison rules can contain three fields :

• text: The text to apply the logic comparison to; usually the value of an installer or environment variable.
• logic: One of equals, contains, does_not_contain or does_not_equal.
• value: The value that the text will be compared with.

Example:

<compareText>
    <text>${server}</text>
    <logic>equals</logic>
    <value>Apache</value>
</compareText>

<fileTest> file testing rules contain two fields :

• path: The path to the file to test.
• condition: One of exists, not_exists, writable, not_writable, readable, not_readable, executable, not_executable, is_directory, is_not_directory, is_file, is_not_file, is_empty, is_not_empty.

Example:

<fileTest>
    <path>/usr/bin/perl</path>
    <condition>executable</condition>
</fileTest>

<fileContentTest> file content testing rules contain three fields :

• path: The path to the file to test.
• logic: One of contains, does_not_contain
• text: The text to apply the logic comparison to, usually the value of an installer or environment variable.

Example:

<fileContentTest>
    <path>/etc/group</path>
    <logic>contains</logic>
    <text>apache</text>
</fileContentTest>
