Hi.  I'm hoping that someone can help me with a simple example.  We
are trying to use puppet to update a server binary to a group of
machines.  Here's pseudocode for what I'm trying:

if (server_binary has changed) {
        1)  stop the old server
        2)  overwrite the old server binary by
               fetching the new server binary from puppet
        3)  start the new server
}

Below is the puppet manifest I wrote to handle this, but it isn't
working properly.  It is 1) downloading the new binary and then 2)
stopping the server, which screws up our data.  I've been looking
through the documentation, and it isn't clear which permutation of
before, require, subscribe, or notify is necessary to accomplish
this.  Hope someone can enlighten me.  - Mat


file { "/usr/local/sbin/server_binary":
        source  => "puppet:///files/server_binary",
        require => Exec["stop-server"],
        before  => Exec["start-server"]
}

# Stops the server
exec { "/usr/local/sbin/stop-server":
        alias       => "stop-server",
        refreshonly => true
}

# Starts the server
exec { "/usr/local/sbin/start-server":
        alias       => "start-server",
        refreshonly => true
}
