In the documentation, there is an example such as this:
case $operatingsystem {
sunos: { include solaris } # apply the solaris class
redhat: { include redhat } # apply the redhat class
default: { include generic } # apply the generic class
}
I''ve seen the $operatingsystem variable used elsewhere.
What actually puts the value into the $operatingsystem variable?
Does puppet do it when starting up or do I have to create that variable myself?
If it''s a pre-defined variable, do you guys have a list of other
predefined variables which puppet provides to use in it''s various
manifests,
functions, etc?
Thanks!
BC

Run ''facter'' on any of your target hosts - you''ll see what''s available. On debian, also make sure you have the ''lsb-release'' package installed - facter will give you more info then.
