I'm looking at the case of distributing /etc/cups/printers.conf. When this file changes, I'd like to distribute it. But before placing the new file, cupsd needs to be shut down, and restarted again afterwards. This can be done easily enough using an Exec to shut it down and the existing Service entry to trigger a restart, but how can I tell my manifest that when the File triggers, first do the Exec, then the File, then the Service?
Is there a way to chain these together to produce the effect I'm looking for? To stop a service before deploying a new config file, then start it up again? file { '/etc/cups/printers.conf': require => Package['cups'], source => 'puppet:///modules/cups/printers.conf', notify => Service['cupsd'], : } service { 'cupsd': ensure => running, enable => true, } exec { 'stop-cupsd': command => 'service cupsd stop', : } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
