Hello
I try the following:
1. Check if a file is present
2. if not, download some files to an directory in /tmp and run one
3. remove the files and the directoy from /tmp
1 and 2 are easy, here is my definition:
class netcool
{
exec { "/bin/bash /tmp/netcool/silentinstall.sh":
cwd => "/tmp/netcool",
path => "/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin",
creates =>
"/opt/netcool/ssm/bin/init.nco_m_ssmagent",
require => File["/tmp/netcool"]
}
file { "/tmp/netcool":
source =>
"puppet://10.32.29.29/dist/os/linux/netcool",
backup => false,
mode => 644,
owner => root,
group => root,
recurse => true
}
}
that works so far. But if i (manually) delete /tmp/netcool, the next
time i run puppet, it will downloaded again. Is there a
Way to get rid of these Files?
Thanks
Jan Hebler
PS. Sorry for my bad english

When you manage a file/directory with a file resource, it kinda becomes permanent. I think the proper way to do it would be to create a package wrapper for whatever OS you''re using (RPM, DPKG, etc...) and manage it with a package resource. -- Russell A.

Puzzling. Maybe there is a different want to think about this problem?
