Hello, I want a simple operation in a puppet node like restarting the ssh service if it was stopped. My site.pp is simple as this: import "services/*" node default { include ssh } The services directory as a ssh.pp : class ssh { service { ssh: ensure => running, subscribe => File["/etc/ssh/sshd_config"] } } I''ve stopped the ssh service in the

Hi, as documented, if you use rsync with --copy-unsafe-links, and copy a directory with a symlink pointing outside of the copied tree, the referent of the symlink is copied. Now, assume that the directory contains a symlink, which points to a (2nd) directory outside of the copied tree. If this (2nd) directory contains another symlink, which also points outside of the copied tree, rsync

Hi all Shouldn''t it be possible to access definitions from a super class in a subclass?

Hi I''m anxious to get puppet into production, and although I''d prefer installing puppet as a .deb package (as most of the servers in our shop runs Debian), I think I''ll try to get some of my not-so- important servers into my test setup by installing puppet with the .tgz files. Upon the first installation I realize that puppetd and puppetmasterd is copied to

Hi I''m wondering if it''s possible to define some defaults for the package type. What I want is that package install/updates only happens at certain times of the day. I could do: class shorewall { package { "shorewall": ensure => latest, schedule => maintenance } } for every package I want to manage. But that means I have to type

Hi all, I''m struggling with the following: I have a defined type wrapped in a class: class myclass { define mytype(bla) { file { "blabla": .... } exec { "blablabla": ... } } } And I access the defined type in my other class by doing this: class otherclass { include myclass myclass::mytype { "alb": ... } # and here I want to

Hi, I''ve setup my systems to do reporting as explained in https:// reductivelabs.com/cgi-bin/puppet.cgi/wiki/ReportsAndReporting, with tagmail defined as one of the report types - but I do not recieve any mail at all. I''ve configured a tagmail.conf file like this: all: root@localhost But the documentation mentions three options, namely sendmail, reportfrom,

Hi, I''d like to be able to create certain admin users on certain machines, and when I saw the new Resources feature, I thought I could use that. But I can''t get it to work. This is what it looks like: <snip> class admin { define adminuser { @user { $name: ensure => present, group => adm } file { "/home/$name": ensure =>

Hi, I''ve just finished my first attempt at making anything in ruby. It ended up beeing a module to facter, which collects facts about the number of domU''s and the memory, id and vcpu facts on all of the domU''s. It''s meant to be run on the dom0, and uses the xm utility to get the information. The only thing I haven''t figured out, is how to

Hi all, I''d got the impression that puppet didn''t care about ordering - ie. the ordering of imports and includes related to calling them in the manifest. Lately I''ve had big trouble getting puppet to accept that I require some resource that I _have_ defined elsewhere in the manifest. To explain it, here is a simplified example: site.pp: -------- import

Hi As I''m more familiar with cfengine and it''s way to split updates (in update.conf) from the actual grunt work (in cfagent.conf), I''m wondering how to best manage puppet and my manifests with puppet...? Should I define a puppet class that copy the puppet package (in .tgz format) and all the manifests to the client, and then have all my other classes depend on

Hi, I need to set a variable to true or false if a certain file exists. I need to use it in a case statement like: case $is_installed { false: { exec... file... service... } true: { package... } } Is it possible...? I searched for the syntax, but I can''t find an appropriate example... -- Med venlig hilsen Juri Rischel Jensen Fab:IT ApS Vesterbrogade 50 DK-1620

Hi From the documentation I can''t see if I can define the following schedule: I want a certain command to be run once a day, monday-friday on a certain time of the day. Can I define that somehow...? -- Med venlig hilsen Juri Rischel Jensen Fab:IT ApS Vesterbrogade 50 DK-1620 København Tlf: 70 202 407 / Fax: 33 313 640 www.fab-it.dk / juri@fab-it.dk

Hi all, This has theoretically been a high priority for a long time, and I''m finally going to get it done, I think. Here''s my plan, and I''d appreciate any comments you might have on it. Currently, sections only have meaning internally, in that one can call ''config.use(section)'' to create any directories needed for that section. Additionally,

Hi Puppeteers! I''ve been using puppet for a little over a half year, and I''m very pleased with it. Until recently, I couldn''t get reporting to work, but after finding the culprit, it works just fine. Every day Puppet reports lines like the following: Tue Jul 31 04:37:49 +0200 2007 //debian_base_sarge/

Hi there! I´m trying to get my PuppetmasterDB running. Problem is, though I´m not getting any errors from the puppetmaster there is nothing stored in the database, not even tables are created. I tried "puppetmasterd --dbmigrate", didn´t help either. rails.log is kinda empty too.. Thing is: it kinda works anyway, there is just nothing stored in the DB - exported a user on host A,

Hi, I''m in the process of evaluating puppet and cfengine for a rollout on a mix of in-house servers and managed customer servers. I''ve always been a pro-cfengine man, and it''s already running on a small setup of 5 machines. But even though I have pretty clear idea of how I should proceed building the system, I''m intimidated by the vast amount of

Hi, I just want to know what the state of the Debian packages is? I''ve downloaded (and is currently testing with) the packages from http:// reductivelabs.com/downloads/packages/Debian/ They seem to miss some important stuff such as init scripts and puppetrun, and they hasn''t all the dependencies defined (eg. ruby). From the info part of the packages I can''t see

Hi there, me again! I´m looking for a solution for the following: I have two (a bunch really..) of services that work together and have to exchange some configinformation between each other. I can get this to work in only one of three cases: 1. Works # class serviceB { file {"serviceBconfig": content => $serviceA::serviceAvar } } # # class serviceA { $serviceAvar

Hi all Guess it''s time for me to dig a bit deeper into the ruby language. Can you recommend some good starting books on ruby programming? Thanks. -- Med venlig hilsen Juri Rischel Jensen Fab:IT ApS Vesterbrogade 50 DK-1620 København Tlf: 70 202 407 / Fax: 33 313 640 www.fab-it.dk / juri@fab-it.dk
