Thank you for your reply.
First of, we are kinda aware of that we are not using Puppet as it should
be used with the "state management service". But Puppet seemed to be the a
great piece of software with great capabilities.
To our problem. Lets say our site.pp looks like this:
#Site.pp
import "nodes_script"
import "monitor_script"
import "run_script"
node /^linuxnod\d+$/ {
include nodes_script
}
node 'monitor.rosi.local' {
include monitor_script
}
All works well with our modules. But we would now like to add the module
"run_script" to some nodes that can't be "regex:ed". The nodes are present
in a file named "hosts". Can I in some way include these nodes to the "node
'<nodes>' { include run_script }" in site.pp? So that the run_script is for
those nodes presented in "hosts". If not, any suggestion on how we
can achieve it?
Thanks in advance
