the puppet problem is if you generate the serial you should only generate it if the content of the rest of the file changes, this is pretty hard without a type/provider. I have some code to increment serials the way you want with yyyymmddxx but dont have an immediate answer to how to use that without writing a type -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
