Nope. Puppet can't infer what files it should backup for an exec. What you can do is add a layer of indirection if you need it. *) Create a temp folder that won't be wiped on reboot. I use /usr/local/puppet_private for everything like this. *) Use your exec to create the file in there. ie at /usr/local/puppet_private/timezone *) Use file to copy from /usr/local/puppet_private/timezone to /etc/timezone so you get "file" to filebucket the old file. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
