I have the following test case: file { sendmail-conf: path => "/etc/mail/${fqdn}.mc", owner => "root", group => "wheel", mode => 0644, links => follow, source => "puppet:///sendmail/${hostname}.mc" } $mail_dir = "/etc/mail" $cf_dir = "/usr/share/sendmail/cf/" exec { build-conf: command => "/usr/bin/m4

I''m using puppet through Vagrant to manage my dev VM, and as part of that I have a few database grants that I run after creating users, but when I subsequently run vagrant up or provision these grants fail (because of some changes I make to the mysql config after they have been created.) I''m using database_grant to execute the grants, but there doesn''t seem to be a

hello: i currently am using Puppet to run some commands in a sequence. there are two sequences of exec resources. we found that we cannot use require => Exec and it does not work at all as expected. here is some sample code. exec { "exec-AAA": command => "/bin/true", returns => 0, notify => Exec["exec-BBB"], } exec { "exec-BBB":

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

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''

Hi, I want to audit some files on content and planned to do this with puppet filebucket. Lets say for example that I have a list of audit_files as a parameter from puppet dashboard with a list of files to audit. Output from ENC for this particular parameter: audit_files: "[\"/etc/passwd\",\"/etc/resolv.conf\", \"/tmp/mawi\",

Hi, For the past week, I have been trying to figure out the best way to do package management with Puppet on an Ubuntu system. I have studied many solutons I found on the web, but none of them seem to do exactly what I want. Among other things, I have tried everything that is discussed here: http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/af7349171a5821a4/db96b809c97f6006 but

I'm struggling to get the convert plugin working using the Debian etch packages. When starting dovecot it was trying to create files in /.temp.hostname... convert-plugin.c looks like it has a couple of typos in it - it checks "mail" three times for NULL rather than mail, user, home. I changed this but it's getting called when these three items are set to:

Hello, I have problem with my class when the archive is changed and the service is not restarted when i apply change and run the puppet agent, I have the next error: [..............] * err: /Stage[main]/Spam_rule/Exec[zmamavisdctl]: Failed to call refresh: /opt/zimbra/bin/zmamavisdctl returned 1 instead of one of [0] at /etc/puppet/modules/spam_rule/manifests/init.pp:25* [..............]

Hi all, I have created a squid class that also installs squidGuard. When I run puppetd I always get notice: //Node[xxxx.xxxxxx.xxx]/squid/squid::install/ Package[squidGuard]/ensure: ensure changed ''purged'' to ''present'' even though the package is already installed - why is this change in package status happening as it then triggers my exec resource which is

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I''m trying to figure out why exec{} which subscribes to a file, doesn''t get triggered when the file is touched by puppet.

Using puppet 0.23.2, I have a template where I wish to do something like this: <% if defined? some_variable %> .... <% end %> Ideally I''d like to tell these three cases apart: a) defined to a non-empty value b) defined to an empty value c) undefined However case c) causes problems - in templatewrapper.rb::method_missing it causes an error to be thrown.

Hi all, I''m trying to have the exec resource write a file after the command but it don''t. here is the resource declaration class gepet { notify { ''begin'':} file { ''/root/essai/html'': ensure => present, content => "Wrote By Yves Nton", notify => Exec[''test''], } exec { ''test'': path

I''m thinking about how to set up the processes for Production puppet runs now. Being ultra-conservative here, we''d like to see what would happen before pressing the red button. I can run in noop mode, and everything is evaluated but nothing is done. A YAML report magically appears on the Puppetmaster which my script parses and spits out something the management can read

I am trying to manage MySQL DB with puppet. So I create a class and would like to set the mysql SQL root password at the beginning. However, the "exec" will run before mysql-server has installed or started which make "exec" failed. how can I make sure the package has installed/run before "exec" task? class mysql-server { package { "mysql":

Hello, I''ve created a little class which should unpack a 7z archive on Windows. The class has a parameter for passing in the archive version, so that I can trigger an update when a new version of the archive is available. A simplyfied version looks like this (requires 7z): class my_archive ($version = undef) { file { ''version'': path =>
