Is there a condition test to see if a file exists on the
puppetmaster?
I have about 15 different license files that are loaded on thirteen
servers. Not every license goes on every server. I''d like to serve the
files only if they exist on the puppet master server. I''m thinking of
doing it like this:
define install_license($host) {
if(exists("/var/puppet/modules/atg/files/${host}/${name}")){
file { $name:
path => "${dynamo_home}/localconfig/${name}",
mode => $mode,
owner => $owner,
group => $group,
source => "puppet://puppet.armstrong.com/atg/${host}/$
{name}",
ensure => present,
backup => main,
require => Package["ATG"]
}
}
}
install_license {[
"A.properties",
"B.properties",
"C.properties",
"D.properties",
"E.properties",
"F.properties",
"G.properties",
"H.properties",
"I.properties",
"J.properties",
"K.properties",
"L.properties"]:
host => $fqdn
}
I''m open to other ideas. The thought is I''d have one mechanism
for
loading license files and I''d manage them inside directories named
after the $fqdn For this to work, I need that "exists" function.
TIA,
Jeff

Just cook up some ruby code to check for your file existence, and you''re almost done.

Besides that I would see that quite hacky and therefor would maybe think about remodelling your idea to do it some otherway. cheers pete --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Does this behavior of the source parameter help you come with an alternative method? "If you specify multiple file sources for a file, then the first source that exists will be used. This allows you to specify what amount to search paths for files:" http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#file On Mon, Dec 8, 2008 at 1:14 PM, Peter Meier <peter.meier@immerda.ch> wrote:> > Hi > >>> Is there a condition test to see if a file exists on the >>> puppetmaster? >>> >>> [...] >>> >>> I''m open to other ideas.

The first 2 sentences of the link read: """ The Puppet language and interpreter is very extensible. One of the places you can extend Puppet is in creating new functions to be executed on the server (the host running puppetmasterd) at the time that the manifest is compiled. """ So yes, they get executed on the server and you can very well query the existence of files on the server.
