similar to: learning the cron module

I''m not sure if this has been posted previously, but I couldn''t find any information on it. I added a cron job via the cron type and it installed properly. Next, I removed the cron type from the manifest. The result was that, while the entry was no longer in the yaml file, the cron entry was not removed! Is this a bug, or the way that it is supposed to function? Thank you,

It seems to me that when you have a master server and a client computer, the master doesn''t really need to know the implementation details of the client computer. It''s kinda like a browser from my perspective...the server is just telling the browser what needs to be drawn on the local side. Does the puppet model work like this? If not, I guess what I read didn''t

I''m looking for some ideas about how to learn how to use puppet. One of my main concerns is dorking up the machine I''m testing it on. For this I''m using a VM. So that concern is mainly taken care of. If some of you experienced puppet users where going to do it all over, what parts would you try to learn first? I have successfully been able to get a cronjob added

Just curious as to the functionality of puppet. Does Puppet ensure that a service is up and running as long as puppet is running? Ie, I want to make sure ssh is always running, if for some reason ssh get''s shut down, does puppet start it back up when it does it''s config sync run? Thanks! --------------------------------- Pinpoint customers who are looking for

I dont know if i am missleaded but it seems to me that the cron type does not accept names with a ''.'' in it ? I tried to add a cron with a name cron1-$domainename and it does not accept it. If i remove the ''.'' in the domain it work. I am using .22.3 anyone seeing the same behavior ? If yes i will fill it as a bug. -- Cordialement, Ghislain ADNET. AQUEOS.

Hey, I have a very trivial parsedfile based type - http://pastie.org/311146 - that works fine when deployed and run under puppetd -t. However, when being run by the daemonized puppet, it results in this error: Mon Nov 10 03:50:48 +0000 2008 //Node[ams-proxy-2]/quagga/Quagga::Daemon[zebra]/Quagga_service[zebra] (err): Failed to retrieve current state of resource: No ability to determine if

It seems to me that when you setup an environement for a cron it just recreate the crontab at each run even if the cron has not changed. Seems it does not recognize actual environement settings. I put 2 environement and i got: info: Writing cron tab for aqadmin /linux/cron=puppetdcron/environment: environment changed '''' to

I''ve been watching the thread where Luke is having to spend time defending his position about documentation. Can we get off that? From my perspective, Luke, I''m glad you have documented as much as you have. I''m one of the few who have been a little stymied by what documentation is available, but in no way do I believe berating you for your lack of documentation is a

I''ve been using puppet for a while but I just recently decided to start using it to manage crontabs. It works great but puppet is reporting (and being very noisy about it) every time it does a run even when there is nothing in the actual crontab to change. I think this is happening because I''m setting defaults for the Cron type, which I should be able to do. Right? eg: Cron {

Hi All, is it possible to delete cronjobs by patterns using ''cron'' resource? I.e. I want to make sure that there is no any cronjob that contains "/ path/to/some/unneeded_file" command in root crontab without knowing the command possible parameters and schedule. If no, any suggestions about how it can be performed are welcome. Thanks in advance

I downloaded the gems from rubyforge, but they are a couple of revs back. What''s the reasoning behind this? I''m no expert, but would be willing to keep rubyforge updated if needed.

Hi, While i''ve read the wiki page on development of custom providers ( http://www.reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ProviderDevelopment), i cannot find information on where the custom provider''s source file should be located. My little provider works fine if i copy it to /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/package but i''d prefer to keep that in tact from the

I''d like to output my rcov data to the screen in ascii instead of html...is that possible using the rake spec:rcov command? Also, is there somewhere that will allow me to search the mail archives...I''m pretty sure someone else has asked similar questions. Thanks for the help.

Being new to testing and ruby, are there "standard" tests that can be done that test for things like cross site scripting and friends? If not, anyone have ideas on what I might do about testing those sorts of things? I''ll be using rails, also.

I am writing a definition that installs a crontab. I would like it to run the command only when the downloaded file changes. I am using "subscribe" but it doesn''t seem to do the job. The exec command is run every time. define crontab($host = $hostname) { $path = "/tmp/$name.$host.cron" remotefile { $path: source =>

I''ve just started doing TDD/BDD and like the idea of mocks. So I set out to use them. The doc pages seem great, I setup the mock and then it just works. Here is what I am trying to do: Myuser is a non-rails model of user attributes. We are going to be mocking the connection to the ldap server. The user class has a login method that connects to the ldap server and if successful,

Can anyone who''s having this problem please send details? I''m trying to reproduce it -- I''ve got 5 clients concurrently retrieving 200 10k files made of random binary, and I can''t get any corruption or memory growth at all. Is everyone experiencing the problem using Mongrel? Webrick? What versions of ruby? Are only big files affected? Small files?

I''ve done a clean install of Ubuntu 7.04 server in 2 different machines and everytime I reboot the machine or manually run /etc/ init.d/mongrel_cluster restart/start the mongrels won''t start correctly. I have to manually start them by using mongrel_rails cluster::start from each app folder. I''ve been searching around and it looks like mongrel has some problems
