Hello again Ohad
I've finally found some time to play with this.
I'll give you the back of the proof of concept version and i'll write
some doco for the site when i get a chance.
I've done two facts which are probably written in the worst way
possible, but i haven't done this before :)
[r...@tangelo facter]# pwd
/etc/puppet/modules/custom/plugins/facter
[r...@tangelo facter]# cat system_time_*
# system_time_hour.rb
Facter.add("system_time_hour") do
time = Time.now
hour = time.hour
setcode do
hour
end
end
# system_time_minute.rb
Facter.add("system_time_minute") do
time = Time.now
minute = time.min
setcode do
minute
end
end
Then my default node class works out what OS, and based on that calls
the class for that OS, either OS class inherits from shared-default
which contains the non OS specific files and that shared one contains
an inheritance (the include was not smiling on me that day) to some
default variables.
My default variables file defines:
class initialisevariables
{
##
## daily denotes an hour while hourly denotes a minute
##
$solaris_daily = "7"
$solaris_hourly = "30"
$linux_daily = "8"
$linux_hourly = "00"
}
which the OS specific class uses to set itself up (this is for Linux):
$change_daily = $linux_daily
$change_hourly = $linux_hourly
So so far so good :)
Now the only module i've tested this on is my resolv_conf one which I
added at the start:
class resolv
{
$resolv_conf_urgency = "hourly"
case $resolv_conf_urgency
{
"minutely" : { $process_now = "true" }
"hourly" : { if ($system_time_minute == $change_hourly)
{ $process_now = "true" }}
"daily" : { if ($system_time_hour == $change_daily )
{ $process_now = "true" }}
}
if (($skip_resolv != "true") and ($process_now == "true"))
{
....
I'm not fully happy with this as yet, but in principle it works.
As to your query regarding me not having a current way to push things
out immediately... no i don't. IF we need to do something like this we
modify our cfengine instance and then hook onto each box that needs
the change urgently and run it by hand. Puppet will hopefully change
things ... especially with this notion i'm putting in place :)
Cheers
