similar to: unless & onlyif for the exec

0.25.5 changed the default vardir from /var/puppet to /var/lib/puppet and it''s caused the odd issue we have to fix in the Mac pkg preflights. After re-reading ''man hier'' I''m tempted to change the default on OS X to: /var/db/puppet instead. /var/ multi-purpose log, temporary, transient, and spool files ...

Hello, I''m using puppet 0.25.1 - and I''m trying to create a custom resource to use launchctl to stop a launchd job. command => "launchctl stop `launchctl list | grep $job_real | cut -f 3`", yeilds: err: //sav/Stop_launchd_job[com.Symantec.SymSecondaryLaunch]/Exec[com.Symantec.SymSecondaryLaunch]/returns: change from notrun to 0 failed: launchctl stop `launchctl

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

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" }

hello, i''m just playing around with the really great puppet to learn the syntax and see what it can do. i''m using puppet 0.22.1 on debian etch. i created a aide class to distribute a modified aide.conf.d directory and if not already done initialize the database (yes this should probably be better organized and databas initialization should be performed as the last step):

Hi guys! I need configure one command exec with onlyif parameter. I want test file size exist or no. Ho i do this? Tks in advanced.

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''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

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''

I''m trying to change the password complexity requirements in pam.d/system-auth using augeas. I can append the values (lcredit=-1, ucredit=-1, etc) onto the correct place, but if another value is already present (i.e. lcredit=-2), the onlyif match statement doesn''t seem to support checking regular expressions inside of strings. How do I check that any numeric value exists in the

Hi. I am having a few problems with augeas and need some help. What I am trying to use is augeas to update the cron.allow file. I can get augeas to add the required name but I am having problems with getting it to add the name once. augeas { "check_mk_cron.allow" : context => "/files/etc/cron.allow", # changes => "set

Hi, One thing I''d like to be able to do is this... define sedfile ( $file = '''', $target = '''', $pattern = '''', $options = ''-i -n'' , onlyif = '''' ) { case $file { '''': { err ( "Require valid filename: ''$file''" ) } } case $target {

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 =

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, 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

Reminder for Mac Puppeteers going to WWDC How about we meet for lunch at noon on Tuesday. Let''s try to get the table closet to the Odwalla refrigerator, just for reference. We can get more specific on this list on the 8th after we verify the set up. I might even get there a little earlier and put down "reserved" tags. --- Thank you, Allan Marcus Solutions Architect Central

I have the following exec in my manifest : exec { some_exec: path => [ "/bin","/usr/bin","/usr/local/bin" ], command => "EXECUTE COMMAND 1", onlyif => "EXECUTE COMMAND 2", logoutput => "on_failure" } I want that the "COMMAND 1" should be executed by "USER 1" and "COMMAND 2"
