Alternatively, just make sure there is in fact no linebreak at the end of the template. If you *do* indeed need ERB syntax (when doing something more than just including the value of a fact in a string, such as joining the fields of an array to a new string), you may want to look at the inline_template function for an easier alternative. Creating files w/o newline at EOF is a pain in the neck. HTH, Felix -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
