Hi, I want to find a way to make sure that the Nagios configuration is valid before performing a reload, and I came up with this:
exec { 'check_nagios_config': subscribe => File['/etc/nagios/objects'], refreshonly => true, command => '/usr/bin/nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg', path => '/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin', } exec { 'reload_nagios': command => '/etc/init.d/nagios reload', require => Exec['check_nagios_config'], } And I end up with that when executing it: info: /etc/nagios/objects: Scheduling refresh of Exec[check_nagios_config] err: /Stage[main]/Nagios/Exec[check_nagios_config]: Failed to call refresh: /usr/bin/nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg returned 254 instead of one of [0] at /var/puppet/manifests/classes/nagios.pp:28 err: /Stage[main]/Nagios/Exec[reload_nagios]/returns: change from notrun to 0 failed: /etc/init.d/nagios reload returned 1 instead of one of [0] at /var/puppet/manifests/classes/nagios.pp:33 We can see that check_nagios_config returns 254 but reload_nagios would still executes. As a require failed it's not supposed to execute or I'm missing something? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
