I have a question hopefully someone here can help me out with. I have a
module that I didn't write, I got it from the github. it's the postgres
module. I'm running on CentOS 5. In the module there is this:
case $ensure {
present: {
exec { "Create $name postgres db":
command => "/usr/bin/createdb $ownerstring $name",
user => "postgres",
unless => "/usr/bin/psql -l | grep '$name *|'" *** This
line causes an error
}
}
The *** line causes puppet to error out like so:
debug: //Node[myhost.mydomain.com]/Postgres::Role[voiceob]/Exec[Create puser
postgres role]: Executing check '/usr/bin/psql -c '\du' | grep 'puser *|''
debug: Executing '/usr/bin/psql -c '\du' | grep 'puser *|''
err: //Node[myhost.mydomain.com]/Postgres::Role[puser]/Exec[Create puser
postgres role]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource:
(This produces no output if the user doesn't exist in postgres.)
Nothing more on the error line. Interestingly enough, if I remove the '|'
(pipe) after the psql part of the command, it doesn't error. However, it
doesn't do what I need it to do. I have tried it without the unless line
and it works perfectly. Again, it doesn't do what I need it to do that way
though. I have searched the message boards and wiki to no avail.
Can any of you shed some light on why this wouldn't work?
TIA
Drew
