-----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. I''ve got the following: exec { "/usr/sbin/postmap /etc/postfix/checks/access": refreshonly => true, subscribe => File["/etc/postfix/checks/access"];

I tried to install the ''mongrel'' gem tonight via puppet in an attempt to migrate from webrick to mongrel as described on the puppet site[1]. I added the following to my manifest: package { "rubygems": ensure => installed; "mongrel": ensure => installed, provider => gem, require => Package["rubygems"]; }

So when puppetd crashes/whatever, and a pid file is left behind, SMF in Solaris will try restarting puppet, but fail. And then it sits there restarting it forever. I''m not sure if I can adjust the flap detection in SMF.. it isn''t disabling the service for "restarting too quickly" because it takes so long to start. Probably because I''m NFS-mounting ruby. The

I was wondering if there was an elegant way to extend a require array. To whit it would be wonderful to do somthing like this: class one { service { awesome: require => [ File[one], File[two] ] } file { one: ... two: ... } } class two inherits one { Service[awesome] { Require => + [ File[three], File[four] ] } file { three: ... four:

Hi all, One of the major new features in the upcoming release is that Puppet now uses a graph library internally to handle resource relationships. The big benefit to all of you is that you can use this library to turn these graphs into images. The trick, right now, is adding --graph when you run puppetd. This creates .dot files, which can then be interpreted by the

Hey All, Id like to submit two init scripts for debian for puppetd and puppetmasterd, Which is the best to do this? Cheers B _______________________________________________ Puppet-users mailing list Puppet-users@madstop.com https://mail.madstop.com/mailman/listinfo/puppet-users

I'm trying to understand the point of the --checksum-seed option. As I understand it from a little reading, checksums are not cached over executions of rsync. So...what is the point of fixing the seed? Is this in support of patches which *do* support caching of checksums? I've read about caching these in files and in xaddr. Is there a "best solution" for caching

Hi, My environment is composed of ~250 workstations hitting a single puppetmaster server, which has been working fairly well up until now. The most recent change has been a migration of a lot of remote file copy objects which were previously handled with cfengine. client side puppetd calls to the puppetmaster.getconfig method are taking unreasonably long, on the order of 2-3 minutes. It

This is a suggestion for adding to rsync an option "--checksum-path=PROGRAM". Once this option is given, provided it is accompained by option "--checksum", both the receiving and sending side of rsync would compute checksums calling PROGRAM, instead of the usual checksum program. Why is this usefull? Suppose I have two collections of MP3 files at different locations which I

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi *! Has anybody a fix/workaround for this beahaviour? My Service[munin-node] is subscribed to the timestamp of a directory containing config-snippets like this: {{{ file{"/etc/munin/plugins": checksum => mtime, } service{munin-node: subscribe => File["/etc/munin/plugins"], # ... }}} When adding new snippets to the

Assume the following question is in regards to Puppet 3.3.2. So my question is in relation to audit. file { ''/some/random/path/through/the/tree/to/a/file'': owner => ''luke'', group => ''rebelalliance'', mode => ''0444'', audit => all } And more specifically: will the named file be force-owned to luke with the

Following patch for pfile.rb and pfile/source.rb allows the user to set a replace => false parameter on a file sourced by puppet, but not replaced if checksums do not match. This is for cases in which it is desired to distribute initial "bootstrap" files and ensure future existence, yet allow them to be modified on the node.

I would like to write up brief tutorial/documentation on how to manage /etc/passwd using puppet. While this may seem pretty straight forward to some...the documentation is not. We have been able to create a manifest that defines all of our users "virtually" and are able to "realize" users and add them to the system(s) running puppetd. Is there a way to simply realize all users

Hello there. Just to let you know i have just put in production mode puppet on 41 freeBSD 4.7 virtual servers (yes not real servers but "jailed ones"). I had some little problems with facter at first but i have manualy upgraded the servers that where affected by the little "facter does not read his facts" problem i had. I should have missed something in my deploiement.

hello, i wondered if it would not be interesting to have some filters function in puppet like filter_integer(), filter_prelregex, filter_text, filter_email or such so we can validate and make our defines a little more foolproof :) i particulary see filter_regex as usefull in quite a lot of exec that manipulates text files. What do you think about this ? -- Cordialement, Ghislain

Hi, Anyone think this is a good idea? I have found that there are some exec tasks that I am making that just shell out to ruby to do a one / two line script in the exec line, was thinking it would be nice to have an option for exec to tell it to just eval ruby code passed to it, e.g. exec { ''eval: code to evaluate'':, ... } I know Lane wants users to turn execs into new
