I have never used this method per se, but in general in any script if you want to preserve the $ (dollar sign) or variable name you must use a backslash to preserve it. For example change your $CONF to $CONF. The $CONF should then be printed into your conf file.
Thanks that worked.

I have been creating conf files and similar with the following method that I picked up (I think from psotfix docs):
cat <<EOF>>/etc/aliases || exit 1 root: youremail EOF
See: http://medon.htt-consult.com/Centos7-armv7.html
But with postfixadmin I stumbled onto a problem. The following:
cat <<EOF>/usr/share/postfixadmin/config.local.php || exit 1
<?php $CONF['database_type'] = 'mysqli'; $CONF['database_user'] = 'postfix'; $CONF['database_password'] = 'xyz'; $CONF['database_name'] = 'postfix'; $CONF['configured'] = true; ?>
EOF
produces:
cat <<EOF>/usr/share/postfixadmin/config.local.php || exit 1
<?php ['database_type'] = 'mysqli'; ['database_user'] = 'postfix'; ['database_password'] = 'xyz'; ['database_name'] = 'postfix'; ['configured'] = true; ?>
That is the '$CONF' gets processed.
What can I do to avoid this (and any other 'gotchas') or can someone provide an alternative?
thanks
