Hello All,
Is there a way to execute an exec prior making a change from a
different resource type? For instance: Is there a way that I can do exec {
"/code/backup.sh"}, prior to doing file { "/etc/whatever":
ensure =>
present, content => Template["puppet:///whatever"]}. Neither
subscribe nor
notify will do the trick, as I''d like to execute the script only if
there''s
a change about to take place, and I want to a backup of the file first.
Thanks,
--

Answered my own question. Basically you''d need to use: refreshonly => true. Thanks, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

If so, I''d like to know how you did that ;) Cheers, Felix -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I spoke too quickly... It executes on refresh, but it still does it after the changes, and not before, which kind of defeats the purpose of my backup script... If someone else has a suggestion, I''d happy to hear it.. Thanks, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

In the file resource configure backup => ".bak", then notice the exec against the .bak file.
