Does anyone have a technique for performing an exec the first time puppetd runs but then reverting to refreshonly => true state for subsequent runs? The basic idea is: file { "/etc/foo": notify => Exec["bar"] } exec { "bar": command => "Do stuff to /etc/foo", refreshonly => true } Should I use a fact that is unset based on a file''s pr...

This was a fun one to track down... I was trying to use the append_if_no_such_line script from the wiki and it was working fine EXCEPT when I threw a notify at it. The notify appears to completely ignore both unless and onlyif within the exec for some reason. If I put the same test in the actual command line, it works fine. Example: unless => "/bin/grep -Fqe ''$line''

..." } This does exactly what the documentation says it will; it will only run when the file specified by creates does not exist. I''m wondering if it wouldn''t be better if the behavior was be modified so that it would run when a refresh event occurs. This would be similar to refreshonly except that it would also ensure the target is present; however, I''m not sure if this is the intended purpose of "creates". I can''t see any other way to make sure a file generated by an exec exists and regenerate it when the source changes. I have had several incidenc...

I''m using database_grant to execute the grants, but there doesn''t seem to be a refreshonly parameter for it?

Hi, How should I handle the combinatorics when one config file must be built for a combination of possible classes? Take for example the amd automounter''s configuration file, which on Debian is found at /etc/am-utils/amd.conf. This is an INI style file which looks like: [fsname1] param1=foo param2=bar [fsname2] param1=baz param2=quag In my case I have one class of machines

Hello Pros and users of Puppet. I have two problems with the following modul setup: My first problem that i tried every combination of require,notify,subscribe for the mail sending exec but it runs every single time when i run the module no matter if the files changed or not. Second problem that puppet reports that snmpd was refreshed by two resource and restarted but actually it doesnt happen.

I also tried adding "refreshonly => true", but this doesn''t help. I even tried adding "refresh => ..." with the exact same command without any change in behaviour. Any hints what could be wrong?

hi, is there a way to specify that something is to be run only once, upon install of the package? i''m trying to automate the installation of some services and their requisite packages. some of them require setting up various things afterwards (user, passwords, etc). i know i could have it done via exec & onlyif. however there are obvious security issues with trusting the
