Nevermind, I solved the problem. The file needs to be explicitly
mentioned even though it is already in /usr/bin/data, see the code
below:
define get-data() {
file { "/usr/bin/data":
owner => "root",
group => "wheel",
mode => "755",
purge => true,
recurse => true,
source => "puppet://puppet/data/bin/";
}
file { "/usr/bin/data/get-data.sh":
owner => "root",
group => "wheel",
mode => "755",
source => "puppet://puppet/data/bin/get-data.sh";
}
exec { "/usr/bin/data/get-data.sh restart":
subscribe => File["/usr/bin/data/get-data.sh"],
refreshonly => true;
}
}
Now, everything works as it should and the script only runs when it is
supposed to.
Thanks for the help.
