similar to: some questions regarding inhert, unless/onlyif and notify on recursive objects

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''

Hello, Can I specify multiple onlyif''s and/or unless''s in an exec statement? A quick look through the recipes didn''t find any...

Hello, I am still not getting warm with augeas and puppet, there are some things I do not understand. At the moment I am trying the following: - I want to set some kernel parameters in the /etc/sysctl.conf file - in one puppet module, I have defined some default values for the kernel parameters - but for several servers I want to modify some of these values, therefore I would like to overwrite

Hi all, I have some code to execute that depends on two things: 1.-) some file is modified 2.-) its log shows some error. So I''d like to define both conditions, and I''ve done it like: file { "file1": recurse => true, owner => "root", group => "root", mode =>

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

Hi, today I''m stupid. How can I negate the test for execs onlyif?

I would like to ''exec'' an installation script ''onlyif'' an installation directory is empty. I tried using following bash one-liner however it didn''t work: <code> exec{$one_install_script: require => File[$one_install_script], onlyif => "[ \"$(/bin/ls -A $one_location)\" ] && exit 1 || exit 0" }

I have a module for windows nodes that is defined like: class ast_win { Class[''ast_win::env''] ~> Class[''ast_win::restart''] -> Class[''ast_win''] ast_win::env contains a bunch of scripts that modify the environment on the host machine. Mostly the PATH variable, but also other variables (e.g. http_proxy) that are required for

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

so I have this sudo module that I''ve been working on: class auth::sudo { package { sudo: ensure => installed } file { sudo_config: name => "/tmp/sudoers", owner => "root", group => "root", mode => 0440, notify => Exec["sudoers-syntax"], source => [

HI, All our unix boxes under puppet are configured with the ''mailalias'' resource type as in : mailalias { "root": recipient => "linuxroot@fqdn", ensure => present } The majority of those boxes however don''t have /etc/aliases served out by puppet, rather, they simply have the installed default /etc/aliases locally.

Hi all, I have an interesting one - Solaris uses a lot of commands to configure specific items. A simple example is coreadm. In this example: # coreadm -p "/var/core/core_%n_%f_%u_%g_%t_%p" will set the directory and filename to dump core files (with some expansion). The question is - how to get this to run only if the config has changed. I have come up with 2 options, neither of

Hello, I am in the process of "trying out" Puppet, and so far, it is going really well, and I can see a clear line of how we can use it internally. I do have one question though with regard to the using the onlyif parameter of the exec command (as per here http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#exec). Ideally, what I would like to do is to only run a PowerShell exec

Here''s what I''m using: exec { "cert-fix": command => "curl http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem -o /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt", onlyif => "test -e /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt", } But it keeps on failing: > [default] Running Puppet with /tmp/vagrant-puppet/manifests/acid.pp... > Parameter onlyif failed: ''test -e

I''ve been using Puppet now for a month or so and I''ve come to a problem that may warrant an additional Puppet metaparameter. I''m advocating the addition of a metaparameter called "preaction" (or something like that), which will perform some arbitrary action before the resource is modified. There may be a way to do this within Puppet already (with some

So, I''ve been doing something like this for applications that have a client and server component... node base_node { include syslog_ng::client }} node app_node inherits base_node { } node syslog_server inherits base_node { include syslog_ng::server } ... because I want the client portion, syslog-ng in this case to be installed on everything. However, the server node also has a

I''m trying to make sure a specific user has a special ssh key used as his identity file. so I''m trying something like: augeas{"user_second_key": context => "/files/home/user/.ssh/config", changes => [ "ins IdentityFile after /files/home/user/.ssh/config/IdentityFile[last()]", " set

I''ve just tried this (we assume /opt/jetty-6.1.26 already exists): file { "/opt/jetty-6.1.26": owner => "jetty", group => "users", recurse => true, } ... but it''s taking an *age*. What''s the Right Way? Cheers, Robert. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Hi, I''ve got a ''define'' that I use to set kernel parameters in /etc/sysctl.conf using the augeas type. It works well, but I''d like to be able to add a comment line directly above my the parameter to explain what it does and why it''s been changed. We currently just add a comment in site.pp, but that''s not much use to local admins.

Hi, I have a problem with running puppet with hiera based data. I am trying to cleanup user accounts on a range of servers (to have the same uid/gid). When I create existing account but with different uid/gid it doesn''t change files group ownership so I need to run a script which cleanups after cleanup ;-) I use the following code: --- :backends: - yaml :hierarchy: -
