Thanks! Will look at exec. I think I'll make a /var/lib/mypuppetstate
directory and touch files in there on successful completion of
scripts.

And I assume that it knows that on Fedora the magic incantation is
service <servicename> restart...
That'll only work if the file is updated by Puppet, correct? Or is
there an inotify side to Puppet that I didn't know before...?
If the service is sub'd to several files, and all are updated "in one
go" from Puppet, will there be one service restart, or one per file?

Hmmm... from what I've seen, that gets me when the puppet client
_requested_ stuff, but not a "puppet client deployed successfully".
Am I missing something?
