Puppet users - Mar 2012 - File checksum

I want to to ensure a file, and if the content changes a subscribed exec 
should fire.

    file { "/etc/opt/microsoft/scx/ssl/scx-host-$fqdn.pem":
        checksum => "md5",
    }

    exec { "/etc/init.d/scx-cimd restart":
        subscribe   => 
File["/etc/opt/microsoft/scx/ssl/scx-host-$fqdn.pem"],
        refreshonly => true
    }

The file is created by a package (scom) and the content isn''t managed
by
puppet. I noticed that the exec never fired - I tried making a change to 
the file and running puppet, though it doesn''t seem like puppet looking
at
the md5sum of the file at all. 

tl;dr - I want to watch the md5sum of a file and not manage the content, if 
md5sum changes, fire an exec.

Try adding audit => checksum to the file. Though I recall some issues
with noop and where it will change the state.yaml file on noop.
