[Puppet Users] how do I tell puppet do nothing if the condition is true

[hyzhang]

Hi,

I have a piece of puppet code. I want puppet do nothing if it is true.
How do I do that? Of course this code would not code.

exec { 'runlevel':
command = $is_virtual ? {
'false' = /bin/sed -i 's/id:3:initdefault:/id:
5:initdefault:/' /etc/inittab,
'true'  = 'tell puppet do nothing',
},
}

Move the conditional outside the resource. It's much much easier to read.

if $is_virtual == false {
 # put your exec resource here
}

Also, so it doesn't run every time, consider putting a grep whatever as a run 
condition.
