Yeah, that is what is actually in my file. I had to change the names to protect the innocent, and I made some mistakes while doing that. Here is a more accurate look at what I am working on:
class data { } define get-data() { file { "/usr/bin/data": ensure => directory, owner => "root", group => "wheel", mode => "755", purge => true, recurse => true, source => "puppet://puppet/data/bin/"; } exec { "/usr/bin/data/get-data.sh restart": subscribe => File["/usr/bin/data/get-data.sh"], refreshonly => true; } } I also copied the wrong error message. (I really shouldn't write emails at the end of the day. =P ) warning: Not using cache on failed catalog warning: Configuration could not be instantiated: Could not find dependency File[/usr/bin/data/get-data.sh] for Exec[/usr/bin/data/get- data.sh restart] at /usr/local/etc/puppet/modules/data/manifests/ init.pp:238 So, yeah, that doesn't work. I tried subscribing to the directory and it does work. Though, I don't necessarily want to subscribe to the directory if I can avoid it because some other files in there may change and I might not want to restart the script then. Sorry for the confusion earlier.
