Puppet users - Sep 2008 - Running newaliases for 'mailalias'

Hi All,

Should puppet automatically run the newaliases system command on Linux after
adding an alias using the ''mailalias'' type? None of my CentOS
5 systems or
Ubuntu 8.10a5 laptop have done this.

I''m having a read through the source, but I''m a python person,
not a ruby
programmer, so it''s taking me a while.

If puppet does not automatically run newaliases, is there something I can set
up an Exec to Subscribe to?

Regards
Darryl

Mailalias { notify => Exec[''newaliases'']} in your highest
available
scope will set the defaults for mailalias

In addition, you could make the Exec["newaliases"] say:

exec { "newaliases":
     cmd => "/path/to/newaliases",
     refreshonly => true
}

so that it is only executed if there really is a change in mail alias 
resources managed by puppet.

Kind regards,
