similar to: "Unrecognized escape sequence" from puppetmaster

I have copied the simple text snippets into a pp file and set a host to attempt to add lines, but regardless if the line is there or not, it still adds it... what am I doing wrong? in definitions/linetests.pp: define append_if_no_such_line($file, $line) { exec { "echo ''$line'' >> ''$file''": unless => "grep -qe

I just drudged through a bit of the archives and see a FreeBSD bits floating in there that are of some value, but aren''t on the wiki. I posted a few bits on the wiki regarding some FreeBSD cobbling that I''ve done recently and hope that folk find it of use (and start posting their useful bits there as well). http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetFreeBSD The

We need to manage /etc/passwd where there would be one line at the very end of the file to restrict access to all users not explictly allowed: +::::::/sbin/nologin If using delete_lines and append_if_no_such_lines (similar to this one at http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/528) to manage access control, each time a few new users got appended to /etc/passwd file, the above line would be

I''m, still, working on converting my cfengine configs into puppet; one of the major hang-ups is the lack of any find/replace in puppet. So for those of you who are using FreeBSD and puppet, how do you manage you rc.conf? -- -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers--

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''

i was looking at the simple text recipes wiki: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/SimpleTextRecipes and based on that wrote something that can ensure a certain variable in a config file is set to a specific value, using a specific delimiter as requested (defaults to a space). this seems to work great at managing all sorts of unix and mac config files (sshd_config, hostconfig on macs).

Hi, I am running an environment with 15 FreeBSD servers on which I want to maintain ports, rc.conf settings, and assorted configuration in /usr/local/etc/. Looked around the existing Puppet docs, I got a puppetmaster and a test client to work and install a package as specified in the site manifest. This is very basic but awesome! I want to create a puppet FreeBSD HowTo that addresses a

Hi, I''d like to hear opinions from FreeBSD users. I''ve wrote a freebsd service provider, which is available as Ticket #837. http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/ticket/837 This hack extends init service provider, by adding enable method. With freebsd.rb, you can enable services like other service providers do. service { foo: ensure => running, enable => true, ...

Hello all. Probably this question has already been posed in the context of another software, but I am unable to find it. I would like to implement a module which should manage munin-clients as well as the munin-server. Here is what I am thinking about implementing: - There are two classes: munin::client and munin::server - munin::clients'' configuration will be managed automatically.

I finally got my cfengine configs all objectified and separated into service-based configurations. But there are still many things that cfe can''t or won''t do very well, so I''m looking for a replacement. What about puppet? I am looking for something that I can use to manage services and applications, not hosts and files. It seems like puppet may have inherited some of
