Hi I try to do some things on the system, only if a directory exists. The only way I see right now to achieve this is to create a custom fact which returns true and fals. Is there a better solution?

[Puppet Users] Re: only deploy files, when directory exists
That''s probably the cleanest way to do it.
A more hacky version would be to use an exec:
exec { "isithere":
command => "echo true",
onlyif => "test -d /some/path"
}
(I won''t back the exact syntax there since I just pulled it out of thin
air).

Is there a better solution?Better solutions mostly revolve around getting the directory under control too. That really depends on the purpose and genesis of said directory. Another hack would be to create an Exec that fails when the directory doesn''t exist and depend on that: | exec { "[ -d ${the_directory} ]": before => Class[''stuff''] } | | class stuff { ... } Of course, that''ll clutter your output with many failures due to failed dependencies.

Yeah I know, that would be the best solution, but this directory is a san device and is not there after kickstart and I want to be sure that puppet runs without errors even the device is not there.

Thats a good point. Right now I want to migrate our satellite configuration to puppet. If that works well, I will try to move even the device configuration to puppet. Thanks for your help. BR.
