Issue #3149 has been updated by Hari Sekhon.
To clarify, I do use ntp, however, sometimes the time may get out of sync and ntpd may not correct it, so having an external check realign the time sorts it out and ntp can take over from there. Basically I've used -g with ntp and a trigger to the service to restart and step the time by however much it's out by (unlike the default which doesn't work if the time is too far out of sync). I've disabled this behaviour, hoping ntpd will gradually adjust the time... and will see how it goes... but I still think this is a useful feature. ---------------------------------------- Feature #3149: notify => to trigger another resource only on failure of the current resource http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/3149 Author: Hari Sekhon Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Target version: Affected version: 0.24.8 Keywords: Branch: I have a resource that I expect to run successfully all the time, and when it's not I want it to trigger the run of another resource that otherwise wouldn't run. Basically inverting the success/failure criteria of a notify => What I used to do was have a time check exec, and negated the command, with a notify such that if the command actually failed (ie the time was out of sync by more than a few seconds) it would return success to puppet and that would trigger the notify => of another resource to fix the time. However, once one starts doing reporting, this is not cool since it means that resource fails on every run on every machine from puppet's perspective and was really not a nice hack. It also litters the logs. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
