These sources will be polled and whenever any of them changes, default.command will be run. A file will be written to the cache dir, os_config_files.json, which will be a json list of the file paths to the current copy of each metadata source. This list will also be set as a colon separated list in the environment variable OS_CONFIG_FILES for the command that is run. So in the example above, "os-refresh-config" would be executed with something like this in OS_CONFIG_FILES:: *default.command* will be run. A file will be written to the cache

# run it on an OpenStack instance with access to ec2 metadata:: sudo pip install -U git+git://git.openstack.org/openstack/os-collect-config.git
Run it on an OpenStack instance with access to ec2 metadata::
os-collect-config os-collect-config
That should print out a json representation of the entire ec2 metadata tree. That should print out a json representation of the entire ec2 metadata tree.
