Puppet users - Mar 2011 - template file changed, but no notify being sent

Hi guys,

I have the following which I use to set up 
/etc/sysconfing/spamassassin.  One of the options in this file sets the 
listening interface to the IP address on eth0, and using a template 
seemed like a perfect way to achieve this, and it does work very well 
for the initial setup.  It would also be nice for me to be able to 
change the template, and have the file automatically update on the 
clients, and for the service to be notified, but unfortunately, it 
doesn''t seem to work like that.

This is the relevant snippet from my module:

   #sysconfig/spamassassin file - needs to use a template as spamassassin
   #is configured to listen on it''s own IP (uses ipaddress_eth0 from
facter)
   file { "/etc/sysconfig/spamassassin":
     path => "/etc/sysconfig/spamassassin",
     owner => root,
     group => root,
     mode => 644,
     content => 
template("/etc/puppet/conf/development/modules/fh_spam_server/templates/etc_sysconfig_spamassassin.erb"),
     require => Package["spamassassin"],
     notify => Service["spamassassin"],
   }

this is the contents of the template:

SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -L -i <%= ipaddress_eth0 -%> -A 10.44.217.0/20 -A 
10.216.15.242/32 -A 10.216.1.14/32 -A 10.216.15.0/24 -A 
213.171.193.103/32 -m 40 -q -x -u spamd --min-children=40"

When changing the template at, puppet doesn''t seem to notice.  I take
it
that this file isn''t md5sum''d in the same way as static files
because in
a way the content is non-deterministic?

My question is, how could I achieve what I want, which is to edit this 
file, and have it updated on the clients, and the spamassassin service 
notified.

Many thanks.  Tom.

This should trigger the refresh. If changing the template doesn''t
cause the config file to change and trigger the service refresh,
please provide more details about your puppet version and debug
output. If it''s a reproducible problem, we should file a bug for this
issue,

Thanks,

Nan

Change that to be:

SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -L -i <%= ipaddress_eth0 %> -A 10.44.217.0/20 -A
10.216.15.242/32 -A 10.216.1.14/32 -A 10.216.15.0/24 -A 213.171.193.103/32 -m 40
-q -x -u spamd --min-children=40"

You had a -% in the template. Which wouldn''t have helped.

Guys, I''m sorry.

I was a bit confused over how to reference template paths relatively 
(I''m managing someone elses puppet deployment you see!).

I fully qualified the path to the template in the development tree, and 
then copied to production.  You can see below that my path is still 
pointing at the development tree, although I''ve been editing the 
production version of the template!  Fixed now, I''ve got a relative
path
that will work wherever the template is!

Thanks for the help.


Tom.
