Issue #3422 has been updated by Roy Nielsen.
ok, not sure how I would accomplish that on a mac. I could see using an "exec" to use "yum" or "apt-get" to install a package on linux, but I'm not quite sure how to do that on a mac... Do you have any pointers? An "Unless" metaparameter would do the trick, and late last fall, Luke said it would go in Rowlf, but it doesn't look like that's on the Rowlf target now. Thanks, -Roy ---------------------------------------- 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.
