Your main alternatives are: 1) Add a file existence/nonexistence test to each Exec resource, in either its 'onlyif' or its 'unless' command. Of course, this is repetitive and it doesn't work for resources of other types than Exec. 1a) You could address at least the repetitiveness by wrapping up your separate commands into one (or more) scripts, and exec'ing that instead of execing each command individually. 2) You could create a custom fact that tests the file's existence (just before the beginning of each run). Then you could use that fact's value in your conditional logic. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
