Okay, thanks for confirming that.
btw, I found solution to my "create not called" problem. I think it was
that I had forgotten to force "ensure=present" in the manifest.
At any rate, that part is working now :-}
*Almost* done with this beastie! Now I just have to force it to return
"true" when things already look good!
ruby is wierd. sigh. I have
@resource[:value] claiming its value is "true"
and the output of a command, in variable 'output', claming its value is
"true".
BUT...
if output == @resource[:value]
Puppet.debug "svcprop value is desired value. sysprop return true"
return true
end
is NOT returning true. "exists?" falling through and returning false.
sighh...
