The wiki might be editable, but the type reference page is surely
generated from the code descriptions (exec.rb:310).

thank you for the clarification. then i this bug is a documentation
ambiguity. i thought the doc was saying puppet creates this file, and so it
would be useful if you wanted to execute something exactly once on every
machine in your puppet pool.
The reductivelabs wiki is open to anyone to edit who registers with an
account. If you have a clarification to make Jayen, I'm sure the rest
of the community would appreciate it?

Op 20-apr-2009, om 6:26 heeft Jayen Ashar het volgende geschreven:
exec {
"mail ja...@science.unsw.edu.au -s \"kB available on /: `df / | tail
-n 1 | sed -r 's/ +/ /g' | cut -f4` - `hostname`\"":
path => ["/bin", "/sbin", "/usr/bin", "/usr/sbin"],
creates => "/var/tmp/partition_usage_20090420";
}
does not create /var/tmp/partition_usage_20090420 as advertised and
executes the command every time puppet runs
Correct, like the manual says: "A file that *this*command* creates."[0]
(emphasis added by me). You'll need to make sure that the command you
execute creates the file. For example by adding "&& touch
/var/tmp/partition_usage_20090420" at the end of the command.
