Re: [Puppet Users] Re: If else statement if file exists
Mea culpa for a misleading information. Thanks John for the explanation, I didn't know about the 'particular instant during the catalog compilation'. And for the ensure => absent, I haven't thought about that one. -- Yanis Guenane On 08/20/2014 09:11 AM, jcbollinger wrote: > > > On Tuesday, August 19, 2014 11:10:26 AM UTC-5, Yanis Guenane > wrote: >> >> If your file `/volumes/vol1` could be managed by Puppet somehow, >> you could use if defined(File['/volumes/vol1']) as a condition. >> >> Not sure if it is possible in your case, >> > > > Whether it's possible is irrelevant, because that's not *correct* > in any case.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: If else statement if file exists
Thanks for clearing it up. I ended up just using onlyif and unless in each exec statement. this allowed me to rcycle the same commands between the scenario of creating the volume and mounting and encrypting the volume and mounting it.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: If else statement if file exists
Yeah sadly in this case the vol1 gets created as one part of the else
statement, so my goal is on the second run to determine if it exists to
just encrypt it and mount it instead of going through the whole build
procedure.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: If else statement if file exists
If your file `/volumes/vol1` could be managed by Puppet somehow, you
could use if defined(File['/volumes/vol1']) as a condition.
Not sure if it is possible in your case,
