I''m trying to create a virtual host file only if the document root directory exists. It doesn''t look like puppet is seeing the require metaparameter. Currently, the file is being created whether or not the document root directory exists. What is the best way to currently do this? I''m trying to create a file called site1.conf in /apps/apache/conf.d only if

Hi, I have a template file which I would like to append to an existing file (in this case I wish to add a few lines to /etc/motd). Unless I''ve missed it, it does not appear that file has an append option. Is there an easy way copy to the end of a file Thanks Paul --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

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

Hi, Is it possible to get response of a command from puppet ? For example if I run "nginx -t" it would give some details about the configurations i.e. if configuration has some error then which file has the error !

So I can''t quite see how to do this in the existing syntax. Ideally there would be an onlyif parameter for packages, but that doesn''t seem to be the case. I could create a fact that returns true or false depending on whether the file exists, but that doesn''t feel like the right way to do it either. I could do something like: $file_exists =

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

New user trying to get a port to compile: I tried searching but all I get are links to the FreeBSD port of puppet. Easier to find a needle in a haystack. A class has: exec { "port-sudo": cwd => "/usr/ports/security/sudo", environment => "BATCH=yes", command => ''/bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/make

Hello, i''m new to puppet (and ruby). I have a problem when using a variable name containing a variable name and containing a reserved variable name : I have a class : class kernel-Linux-binary { $test = $operatingsystem ? { Fedora => "/usr/bin/test", default => undef } } and i want to call "test" and replace Linux by

Hi All, I was wondering if it is possible to NOT show an event in puppet dashboard. I have an exec resource that fires of a ruby script. This is triggering a changed event on every run, but actually I want to exclude this from showing up as "CHANGED" Is this possible, if so how can I achieve this? --- myscript: --- exec { "run_myscript" : #

Hi, Can puppet autosign work by giving vlan IP instead of domain? For example, in the autosign.conf file, instead of using *.mydomain.org, I want to give 172.18.133.* But it does not seem to work if I give the IP address. But I don''t want to limit the client from *.mydomain.org by only allow certain vlan client not all the are in the same domain. Thanks, -Haiyan -- You received this

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":

Hi, After extensively looking into puppet + augeas for managing the AllowGroups in sshd_config, I came to the conclusion that it won''t work as I expected :( So I''m sharing my thoughts here. The main objective is allowing multiple groups per-node, depending on what the security team wants. Since I want this to be dynamic, I created a define in a class: class ssh::server::config

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: -

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

Puppeteers, I''ve seen things in the documentation to make me think this is possible but I''m not sure how to implement it. Here''s what I''d like to do: puppetd pulls down a config file, say httpd.conf BEFORE puppetd moves it to $path, I''d like to have it check it''s integrity with apachectl configtest IF configtest passes, then puppetd should

Hi, I''m using puppet 2.7.3 on RHEL/CentOS and I have an issue which is now a big blocking issue within my environment. What I''m trying to accomplish wit puppet is a create a mountpoint, mount a filesystem on it and install an application on that filesystems are set proper user/ group and permissions on it, but it fails big time. The issues I currently run into are about 3

Hi, Just recently two nodes begun to hang, I cant see that there have been any changes in our manifest. Debug output: [...] debug: //Node[X]/X[X]/Exec[create dir]: Executing check ''test \! -d / dir'' debug: Executing ''test \! -d /dir'' [...] Here it hangs for several minutes, executin the statement manually works of course. The manifest: exec {

unfortunately, we keep getting this warns into the system log by puppet masters: " [...] Unrecognised escape sequence ''\<CHAR>'' in file <PATH> [...] " but then everything works fine; also, without using escapes, catalogs dont work on agents. What can we do to avoid these kind of errors in master syslogs? Please ,let us know ASAP and tell us if this

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

Hi, I need to add one line to /etc/securetty, say it needs to be ttyS1. Do not add it if ttyS1 already exists in file /etc/securetty. How to achieve this using puppet module in puppet 2.5? This file is different than the other examples using augeas, this one only has value per line, not name-val pair.
