Puppet users - May 2009 - Need to use base.rb and parsedfile.rb in a new resource type.

Hello Everyone,

First, let me describe what I plan to do:
I want to write monit provider which
a) populates the configuration file
b) restarts monit

I have written the two pieces separately.
The first piece inherits from parsedfile and does the configuration
file properly
The second piece inherits from base.rb and provides commands to
stop/start/restart service.

I want to combine them into one piece for a complete monit resource type.

How do you suggest I go about doing it?

I''m not sure that''s actually what you want.  You need a
resource type
that manages monit configuration files, but the resource type that  
manages the monit service should probably just be a normal service  
resource.   You could have your resource automatically notify the  
monit resource (there''s no hook for that, but you can just add the  
relationship in the initialize method or something).
