Then it sounds like you should either: * construct a defined type around an exec that has an onlyif/unless parameter to check the freshness of the db entry or * write a fact to make the same check, and use that in your manifests. I'm a little confused though, as your initial post seems to describe an orchestration problem, but your clarification simply makes it sound like you want to implement a TTL check on the db entry for each node? > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-us...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > > -- nigel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
