But, what he wants to do is to avoid having to repeat all the "bin", "etc",
and so on; he doesn't want to write:
notify {
"bin": message => "jeff: bin";
"etc": message => "jeff: etc";
"lib": message => "jeff: lib";
}
You can do it by creating a custom define:
define mynotify($recipient) {
notify { $name: message => "$recipient: $name"; }
}
mynotify {
["bin", "etc", "lib", "man", "src", "tmp", "var"]:
recipient => "jeff";
}
I believe that's the only way to do it.
