 directores that are not sym linked? 
 
 
 Maybe using:
 
 
 tidy { tidy_opt:
   path = /opt/,
   age = 1d,
   backup = false,
   matches = [ some nice ruby here that finds the non sym linked 
 directories?? ],
  }

So, there are a number of approaches that might make sense here,
including making a named subdirectory (say, /opt/java_version or
something) and managing that directory with recurse and force and so on.

But, here's a nickel.  Buy yourself a package management system.

[Puppet Users] Remove directory

2012-10-05 Thread timo
Here's one for you!

We're rolling out some zip files to our servers using Puppet, there's an 
exec that unzips them, the zip file is then deleted. I need to remove the 
old versions of the unzipped directory using Puppet when we rol out a newer 
version.

So, on my client/node machine I have the below directories.

/opt/1234
/opt/12345
/opt/123456

What I need to do, is rm the the above directories when we roll out 
1234567.zip. When the newest directory (1234567) is unzipped, the Puppet 
exec sym links it to /opt/java. So could I remove the older directores that 
are not sym linked? 

Maybe using:

   tidy { tidy_opt:
  path = /opt/,
  age = 1d,
  backup = false,
  matches = [ some nice ruby here that finds the non sym linked 
directories?? ],
 }


Hope this makes sense?

Thanks,
