Hi,

Stopping an automated policy enforcement on errors is essiential to prevent 
production systems damage. Would puppet support such a feature?

" 7.2.1 Right Commands, Wrong Order
First we will cover a trivial but devastating example that is easily avoided. 
This once happened to a colleague while doing manual operations on a machine. 
He wanted to clean out the contents of a directory which ordinarily had the 
development group's source code NFS mounted over top of it. Here is what he 
wanted to do: 

        umount /apps/src
        cd /apps/src
        rm -rf .
        mount /apps/src
                                
Here's what he actually did: 
        umount /apps/src
                ...umount fails, directory in use; while resolving
                this, his pager goes off, he handles the interrupt,
                then...
        cd /apps/src
        rm -rf .
                                
Needless to say, there had also been no backup of the development source tree 
for quite some time... "
