Puppet users - Sep 2008 - restart service without subscribe

Hi,

I was wondering what would be the best way to have a service restart
when i add a File to a remote node. I can have the service subscribe
to the file, but this gets ugly soon when i add more and more files.
Or, right under the File statement i can have an Exec to do the job,
but i don''t like that too much either. To clarify, it''s a func
module
(file whatever.py) which requires service funcd to restart.

Any thoughts?

Sebastian

no need to use "ugly execs".

As mentioned before, notify is the way to go. And if there''s a lot of
repeated items in your file statements, you may want to convert them
into a definition.
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/Recipes/Apt_Repositories has
examples of both.

Great! Thanks both. I''ll go with the single Notify for now and see how
many
things we add.
