hm, I still don't see the logic. I think this is a common scenario (please tell me I'm wrong) that you ensure presence of a service generally, and then deploy a config file, and on changes you want - of course - the service to be restarted. or ... not?!
is there a puppet pattern on how to do this maybe? Thanks, Axel. Am Mittwoch, 5. September 2012 10:47:04 UTC+2 schrieb Axel Bock: > > Hi readers, > > I had this idea.
