thanks for reply, first let me again describe my problem in detail. I have two database server db01 and db02, on the database server (db01) i have to install and configure postgresql and pg_statinfo module and on database server(db02) i have to install and configure only postgresql.
I created postgresql module to install and configure postgresql and pg_statsinfo module for pg_statsinfo. Here, "postgresql.conf" file contains the configuration for both postgresql and pg_statsinfo.(This is the common file which is to be edited, i use template to make changes), for the pg_statsinfo module i have to add the addition contents to file plus change some in between contents. I am not able to change postgresql.conf file twice in postgresql module and then pg_statsinfo module in case of db01, it give duplication declaration of file resources. If i change the contents of postgresql.conf file in postgresql module then in case of db02 the postgresql not working because some addition parameters of pg_statsinfo in postgresql.conf. i hope this help you to understand the scenario, how i maintain the modularity between to modules and change the same file twice for correct working. Thanks in advance.
