So I need to get the $title in there so puppet doesn't think it is a duplicate definition.You can separate the title from the actual command exec { "uniqe title maybe with $title in it": command => "wget...", ... }
And then I have to make up a title that won't collide with another title somewhere else. Also, I lose a line of vertical space on the screen, and I have to go looking for what the exec is doing, instead of it being on the first line. Shortcut operators don't slow me down at all. Those are my tradeoffs, and why I chose this style. YMMV. But, since you mentioned it: Is it so arcane a practice that I should avoid it for the sake of people reading my code? -- vagn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
