Hello Danny, nice explanation, thank you!!!
I agree with you, this is really a "new" file everytime. So let's try
another example:
exec { "authconfig":
command => "authconfig-tui --ldapserver=ldap://ldap.com
--ldapbasedn=dc=bla,dc=com --enableshadow --enablemd5 --enableldap
--enableldapauth --disableldaptls --enablelocauthorize --kickstart",
path => "/usr/bin/:/bin/:/usr/sbin",
onlyif => "fgrep ldap.com /etc/ldap.conf",
}
The idea is the same: Just do the configuration if was needed, but when
I look the report, I got:
Log
Level Message Source File Line Time
|notice| |executed successfully|
|/Stage[main]/Base::Ldap/Exec[authconfig]/returns|
|/etc/puppet/modules/base/manifests/ldap.pp| |36| |2013-02-14 10:38 BRST|
|notice| |Finished catalog run in 7.56 seconds| |Puppet| ||
||
|2013-02-14 10:38 BRST|
What can I do to workaround this? :D
The message means that the authconfig-tui command is run *every time*
puppet runs. This does not seem to be your intention. I guess, you
should write "unless => [ldap is configured]" instead of "onlyif =>
[ldap is configured]"
Best Regards, David
Thanks!!

You are creating a 'new' file every time(well new content), so in
essence, it is true that the configuration has changed.
To avoid this, you should make your command smarter and make sure it
only runs when changes are in the crontab. There is no need to make
a backup of something that has not changed.
It would probably be even better to just manage the file itself in
puppet, giving you complete control over it, and not needing a
backup anymore.
Also, creating backups by using puppet is not really good practise.
Puppet is good at setting up a configuration, and should be about
resources coming to a defined state, not about being a job scheduler.
In short, there is no 'normal' way around abnormal use of Puppet ;)
But of course workarounds are possible.
