Puppet users - Nov 2008 - notify and reload

If a have a file that has "notify" set for a particular service, will
the
service always be "restarted" when the file changes, or is there a way
to
specify that it should instead "reload"?  I know I can use exec with
"subscribe" and "refreshonly", but it seems like extra work
if it could be
included in notify.

Regards,
Casey

you can define the specific restart cmd for a service.

in your case you may want to define the service like so:


  service {

    "your_service":
      ensure => running,
      enable => true,
      restart => "your restart command here,
      subscribe => File["config file"];
  }
