--- Begin Message ---When using "puppetdoc", there are now two mentions of "creates": ,----[ exec ] | One useful way to create idempotent commands is to use the checks like | ``creates`` to avoid running the command unless some condition is met. `---- ,----[ exec/creates ] | A file that this command creates. If this parameter is provided, then | the command will only be run if the specified file does not exist:: | | exec { "tar xf /my/tar/file.tar": | cwd => "/var/tmp", | creates => "/var/tmp/myfile", | path => ["/usr/bin", "/usr/sbin"] | } `---- I consider this sufficient, and close this bug. However, if you have a suggestion for a different wording, I'd be happy to receive it. -- Stig Sandbeck Mathisen
