I'd try and see if you can achieve this with provider => basic, and if you can, you can then either: * write a defined DSL type that abstracts away the complexity in the commands you're specifying. * write a native Ruby provider that does the same thing, deliver with pluginsync. The first is quicker to scaffold, but means you won't be using "service" anymore for each resource instance, the second will be a matter of specifying a specific provider with each "service" resource instance, or as a resource default. > -- > You are not entitled to your opinions. > > -- > 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<puppet-users%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
