Issue #8612 has been updated by Nick Fagerlund.
Status changed from Re-opened to Merged - Pending Release
Target version set to 3.0.2
Okay, sounds like there's definitely still a problem here. Let's try this
again. Revised text:
A file to look for before running the command. The command will
only run if the file **doesn't exist.**
This parameter doesn't cause Puppet to create a file; it is only
useful if **the command itself** creates a file.
exec { "tar -xf /Volumes/nfs02/important.tar":
cwd => "/var/tmp",
creates => "/var/tmp/myfile",
path => ["/usr/bin", "/usr/sbin"]
}
In this example, `myfile` is assumed to be a file inside
`important.tar`. If it is ever deleted, the exec will bring it
back by re-extracting the tarball. If `important.tar` does **not**
actually contain `myfile`, the exec will keep running every time
Puppet runs.

...
***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:
<pre>
exec { "tar xf /my/tar/file.tar":
cwd => "/var/tmp",
creates => "/var/tmp/myfile",
path => ["/usr/bin", "/usr/sbin"]
}
</pre>
