Issue #3422 has been updated by Markus Roberts. Status changed from Unreviewed to Duplicate
There are already ways to handle this in code (albeit not particularly elegantly) and a more general system of state and state-transition aware requires is in the works. Handling this case with special logic/syntax would just produce something we'd wind up deprecating as soon as it was done. ---------------------------------------- Feature #3422: "unless_running" for the package type http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3422 Author: Roy Nielsen Status: Duplicate Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: package Target version: Affected version: 0.25.4 Keywords: Branch: Hello, It would be nice to be able to have an "unless_running" feature for the package type -- this would do something like: unless_running => "<process name>" example: unless_running => "firefox-bin" would check to see if "firefox-bin" is in the process list (via ps -ax or -ef or your favorite flags that work cross-systems) and if the process is found, _Do Not_ install the package.
