Hi, We want to use files to set variables in some recipes in puppet, which works ok. However I have one problem. The first step of the recipe is to get an updated version of a "control file", which has some info to manage data. Even though the file has new data, the recipe reads the file contents only when it first runs and ignores any changes to the file later. This also prevents the recipe from running if the file doesn't exist yet (but would when the file gets downloaded).
So, this is what happens. There is a class which is assigned to the puppet master node. The class has an exec resource "download" which downloads the latest version of the file (from SVN) and a definition which is subscribed to the Exec. The definition uses the file function to assign the contents of the file to a variable. When the class gets executed, the file functions in the definition seems to assign the file contents to the variable before the Exec "download" in the class, so the first time it runs it has the old data still. Any tips on how I can handle this? Thanks, Andrew --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
