[Puppet Users] how do I tell puppet do nothing if the condition is true
Hi,
I have a piece of puppet code. I want puppet do nothing if it is true.
How do I do that? Of course this code would not code.
exec { ''runlevel'':
command => $is_virtual ? {
''false'' => "/bin/sed -i
''s/id:3:initdefault:/id:
5:initdefault:/'' /etc/inittab",
''true'' => ''tell puppet do
nothing'',
},
}
