Hi all,
I'm using the class below to set the timezone on a Debian system, however
there are two things I'm unhappy with.
1) Why do I have to specify a trailing colon after the exec command and when
calling timezone::set? If I leave it off I get the very helpful error "Syntax
error at '}'; expected '}'"
2) Because of the exec command, /etc/timezone gets overwritten without a
backup being made like with other functions. Is there a way to get the file
included in the file bucket? I imagine I'd have to add an "onlyif" directive
to make sure this only happened if the file contents changed.
I'm using this function-call "design" in a few places so if it can be
rewritten in a nicer way I'd like to know as I can then tidy up a few other
classes too. This is all I have been able to decipher from the examples I've
stumbled across.
Many thanks,
Adam.

class timezone {
define set($ensure = present) {
file {
"/etc/localtime":
ensure => symlink,
target => "/usr/share/zoneinfo/$name",
;
}
exec { "/bin/echo '${name}' > /etc/timezone": }
}
}
-------
include timezone
timezone::set { "Australia/Brisbane": }
