[Puppet Users] Where can I use generate() in additional to file/content?
The docs does not mention in which type I can use the function generate
(). I know I can use with file { content =>
generate("bin/sh","/tmp/
server_script.sh"). Where else I can use generate() ?
http://docs.reductivelabs.com/references/stable/function.html#generate
Thanks

I know I can use with file { content => generate("bin/sh","/tmp/ > server_script.sh"). Where else I can use generate() ?It''s a function that returns a value - you can use pretty much anywhere in your manifests that it makes sense - assuming you remember that functions only execute on the server.
