How do I send in extra options to the diff program that runs when puppet shows the diff between files. I''m looking to get the sdiff kind of output. Can''t seem to remember the option.

The command to use can be chosen with the `diff` setting. # The default value is ''-u''. # diff_args = -u # Which diff command to use when printing differences between files. This setting # has no default value on Windows, as standard `diff` is not available, but Puppet can use many # third-party diff tools. # The default value is ''diff''. # diff = diff # Whether to log and report a contextual diff when files are being replaced. This causes # partial file contents to pass through Puppet''s normal logging and reporting system, so this setting # should be used with caution if you are sending Puppet''s reports to an insecure destination. # This feature currently requires the `diff/lcs` Ruby library. # show_diff = false -Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
