The setm command is supported in 0.7.2, which you can check with augtool. From http://augeas.net/news.html: 0.7.2 - 2010-06-22 * new API call aug_setm to set/create multiple nodes simultaneously I've just checked with augtool from the optional software channel on 6.1 and it's there. > All I want to do is to put console=ttyS0 on all kernel lines in > /etc/grub.conf.

It's deeper than this, as you'll need ruby-augeas 0.4.0 or the 0.3.0-2 RPM from EPEL (which was patched) to support setm. These seem to be missing for EPEL6 at the moment though... I've asked David to see if 0.4.0 can be pushed. Once you've got that, you'll also need the patch from this issue to support it in the Puppet provider which has to natively understand each command: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6494 Given all of the above, I'd consider using 'grubby' instead: define boot_kernel_arg($arg, $value) { exec { "grubby-arg-$arg": command => "grubby --update-kernel DEFAULT --args '$arg=$value'", unless => "grubby --info DEFAULT | grep args= | grep '$arg=$value'", } } boot_kernel_arg { "kernel-console": arg => "console", value => "ttyS0", } You might be able to do something involving ALL instead of DEFAULT too (check the man page). -- Dominic Cleal Red Hat Consulting m: +44 (0)7818 512168 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
