Puppet users - Jan 2009 - Executing a command once after an action.

Hi,

I''m certain there must be an easy way to do this but I just
can''t figure
out how.

I''m looking for a way to execute a script *once* after a certain
operation (e.g. installing a package or a certain file) has occured.  I
can make the exec ''require'' the file or package but then it
runs every
time puppetd gets executed after the file or package gets installed. 

How can I do this?

Thanks in advance,

Nico

Instead of requiring the file, subscribe to it. Also, to only run when
the package changes set refreshonly to true.

file { "/test" :
 source => "puppet:///test/testfile" }

exec { "run once on test file" :
 cmd => "/bin/echo running",
 refreshonly => true,
 subscribe => File["/test"],
}
