[Puppet Users] ignoring changes to a file
Hi All, One of my application requires me to copy a config file after installation the application. This needs to be done only once after installation However this config file is managed by a central server and keeps on getting updated every day, which means puppet will overwrite the updated file every day. Which is a problem. How can i configure puppet to ignore changes to this file. Is there a way to do this ? Any help is appreciated! -Kaustubh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

Re: [Puppet Users] ignoring changes to a file
Thanks Alexzender and Thomas for the reply. This is partially useful. The requirement is i need to copy it first basically overwrite it once and then ignore all the changes. Any clue how this can be achieved! 5, 2014 10:02:59 AM UTC-5, Thomas Müller wrote: On Wed, 05 Mar 2014 06:41:45 -0800 wrote kaustubh chaudhari: One of my application requires me to copy a config file after installation the application.

Re: [Puppet Users] ignoring changes to a file
Hey Thomas, Thats the tricky part! The location where i want to copy this file is created by setup. Its a windows application. So i will have to copy the file(overwrite) it after the package installation and than ignore any changes to that file. Thats where i am stuck! -Kaustubh On Wednesday, March 5, 2014 10:46:04 AM UTC-5, Thomas Müller wrote: On Wed, 05 Mar 2014 07:32:59 -0800 wrote kaustubh chaudhari: Thanks Alexzender and Thomas for the reply.

Thats where i am stuck! ugly workaround: - copy the config-file with a added .puppet suffix. - create an Exec with refreshonly = true which copies this file to the correct location - create another empty file which notifies the Exec - Thomas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.
