Hoping someone can shed some light on this. In the Puppet resource type doc at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/type.html#exec it says this about exec:
"It is worth noting that exec is special, in that it is not currently considered an error to have multiple exec instances with the same name. This was done purely because it had to be this way in order to get certain functionality, but it complicates things. In particular, you will not be able to use exec instances that share their commands with other instances as a dependency, since Puppet has no way of knowing which instance you mean." However, trying this in Puppet 2.6.2 results in a duplicate definition error, similar to the other resource types. I see in the 0.24.2 release notes at http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Release_Notes#Types+and+Providers: "Exec resources must now have unique names, although the commands can still be duplicated. This is easily accomplished by just specifying a unique name with whatever (unique or otherwise) command you need." It sounds like the 'specialness' of Exec has long been removed from Puppet. Has anyone else ran into this? Are the docs indeed outdated? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
