similar to: exec resource: negate onlyif condition

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

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

Hi, I want some config depending on memorysize. What I tried was if ($memorysize >= 256 * 1024*1024) { ... } But this fails because $memorysize is a string (and contains a "G") and can''t be compared to an int. Are all facts strings? How do I work with numbers? regards, Andreas -- Andreas Kuntzagk SystemAdministrator MDC Berlin / BIMSB Tel.: +49 30 9406 2997 --

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''

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

Hi all, Is there a (simple) way to add conditionals to a call to a define? What I want is to run a define only if a file (that gets created somewhere along the run of the define) does not exist. In this way I can skip a whole lot of setup work in the define if I know it has already run once before. I would think adding a unless clause would be a elegant solution (and the other conditionals like

OK, too bad. I could work around it of course by adding ''unless'' and ''creates'' clauses on all the individual parts of the define where appropriate, but I think I''ll just ignore the warnings and overhead for now. It would be cool, though, if something like the ''unless'', ''onlyif'', etc, logic was available for all

Here is my situation: 1. We use Active directory (LDAP) to store all user info which is retrieved from linux 2. A home directory is not created until the first time the user logs into the linux system I am using the ssh_authorized_key type to push out my ssh keys to every system. However, because I haven''t logged into every system at least once. Puppet errors out due to a missing

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, Why doesn''t puppet resource group tell me who belongs to the group? Given the group such as: mg_team:x:501:smruph, cosman, msmith, mhankey With the command: puppet resource group mg_team only returns: group { ''mg_team'': gid => ''501'', ensure => ''present'' } I was expecting: group { ''mg_team'':

Hi, I have this resource definition: ssh_authorized_key { "nagios@login2": key => [REDACTED] user => "nagios", type => "ssh-dss", require => Service[''nis''], } This nagios user comes from NIS, yp.conf and nsswitch.conf are handled by puppet and configured before the key. I still get an "User does not

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, 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 {

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: -

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.

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
