The variables-ignore.txt file is an optional component of the server profile. It is useful when adding bash scripts to the server root because such files often contain expressions that the manage-profile tool normally interprets as variables.

Add variables-ignore.txt to a profile's root directory to indicate the relative paths of any files that are not to have their variables substituted.

The following example shows the contents of a typical variables-ignore.txt file:

server-root/pre-setup/script-to-ignore.sh
server-root/post-setup/another-file-to-ignore.txt
