Simple question If a file changes and it notify a service, will the service be restarted? If not do I need to create a exec? (which I have right now) below is what I have in mind: it this correct? thanks! file { "named.conf" : path => "/var/named/etc/name.conf", mode => 0444, owner => named, group => named, notify => Service[ "named::server ] } service { "named::server" : name => $operatingsystem ? { centos => "named", ubuntu => "bind9", solaris => "named". }. enable => true, ensure => running, } -- -ls -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Does a service call trigger a restart?
It''s my understanding that as long as you have the ensure => running line in your service definition, a notify will restart it. As an alternative you could add the subscribe => File["named.conf"] to your service definition. -Stephen On Thu, Sep 23, 2010 at 1:01 PM, Luc Suryo <lsuryo@gmail.com> wrote:> Simple question > > If a file changes and it notify a service, will the service be restarted? > If not do I need to create a exec?
