I have a lot of this going on:
--
class lighttpd { import "lighttpd.pp" }
class mysql { import "mysql.pp" }
class nagios { import "nagios.pp" }
class netdisco { import "netdisco.pp" }
class nfs_server { import "nfs.pp"}
class openldap { import "openldap.pp" }
--
But my client is trying to realize all of these, even though I don''t
have any nodes defined.
Can I use classes and imports this way?

I mean, it''s syntactically legal, just probably not what you want. -- To define recursion, we must first define recursion. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://madstop.com

I could start each of those files with "class blah-blah {" and end it with an friendly "}"; but that pushes the logic out to each individual file, and I would really rather keep it centralized. -- -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers--

E.g., the ''mysql'' class would be defined in the ''mysql.pp'' file. Really, unless you''re using modules I recommend putting these all into a classes/ subdirectory, and then just doing ''import "classes/ *"'' or something similar. But the key point is to put the code for that class within the class definition, rather than unencapsulated in a file. -- To succeed in the world it is not enough to be stupid, you must also be well-mannered. -- Voltaire --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://madstop.com
