We're using a defined type:
# Note that type can be one of:
# string, data, int, float, bool, data, array, array-add, dict, dict-add
define mac-defaults($domain, $key, $value = false, $type = "string",
$action = "write") {
case $action {
"write": {
exec {"defaults write $domain $key -$type '$value'":
path => "/bin:/usr/bin",
unless => $type ? {
bool => $value ? {
TRUE => "defaults read $domain $key | grep -qx 1",
FALSE => "defaults read $domain $key | grep -qx 0"
},
default => "defaults read $domain $key | grep -qx '$value'"
}
}
}
# note disabled logoutput to stop spurious messages when key
doesn't exist. Not ideal but....
"delete": {
exec {"defaults delete $domain $key":
path => "/bin:/usr/bin",
logoutput => false,
onlyif => "defaults read $domain | grep -q '$key'"
}
}
}
}
Once we have most of our fleet on OS X 10.6, we'll move to using
Foundation from Ruby. I believe some people on the list were working
on a better defined type though?
