Hi,
I'm using Puppet 0.24.8 and facter 1.5.4 on RHEL4 update 7.
The version of Ruby is vendor supplied (ruby-1.8.1-7.el4_7.2). I know
that this is below the recommended version but replacing the supplied
binary from Red Hat is probably not an option at this time.
In one of my classes I have the following type instance:
exec {
"sendmail_m4compile":
command => "make -C /etc/mail; service sendmail restart",
require => File["sendmail.mc"],
onlyif => "m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc | diff
--ignore-matching-lines=\"^##### built\" - /etc/mail/sendmail.cf; [[ $?
-eq 0 ]] && exit 1"
}
According to the docs, the command in onlyif SHOULD return 0 if the file
is different from what is expected. As I understand it this should
cause the command to run.
Unfortunately it does not seem to matter what I do to the onlyif
command; I cannot get the command to run when the file differs from what
is expected. I've tried many variations on onlyif but nothing seems to
trigger the command.
This is the output (I have removed some non-related lines) from puppetd
when I run it as
# puppetd --test --debug

Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong or perhaps what can be done
to fix this bug or work around it would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
