Hi everyone, I''ve been using templates to set up some configuration
files, but the templates don''t always get rewritten when I would
like, so I thought I''d bring it up to see if anyone has any insight.
Here''s an example template, used for setting up a yum repository.
The password and IP address are setup using an out of band mechanism,
and are not always available the first time the template is run.
However, it is soon available, but the template does not always
rerun to get the new info. All the functions do is search files
on the local filesystem.
Thanks for help, Alex

There''s a 15 second window in which the master won''t attempt to reread the file, but after that it should notice. I take it you''re not experiencing that? Can you provide more information on your setup? You using puppetmasterd or just puppet? What does the debug output of a run look like in which the template should get written but doesn''t? Does the template get rewritten if you run puppetd with ''--test'', which will force a recompile? -- To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable. -- Oscar Wilde --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://madstop.com

I logged it as ticket #825. The reason I suspect they are related is that they both use Ruby code to read files (in the template and in a function), and neither of them are seeing changes to that file. I''ll reexamine the template situation once the function one is dealt with. Thanks for your help, Alex
