Just write the files on the master via generate function. Let's say we
store all this in:
/etc/puppet/data/torq.d
class torq::store (
$unlimited = true,
$slots,
...
) {
if $unlimited {
# write a file to /etc/puppet/data/torq.d/${hostname}
# node <node1> <load> <slots> <queue1>:<priority> <queue2>:<priority>
generate(' ... ')
}
}
class torq::load {
file { '/etc/torq.conf':
content => template('torq/torq.conf.erb')
}
}
torq.conf.erb template
unlimited <%= Dir.glob('/etc/puppet/data/torq.d/*').join(' ')
# include each file in the directory below here:
...
