I see. I was making a difference between parsing the notified ressource and applying this resource. That is why i -though- the notify would require the parsing, but Puppet would then apply/refresh the notified resource afterwards. But it seems that for Puppet, parsing and applying the notified ressource is one operation, which means, if i understand correctly, that it is not possible to require and notify the same resource as i was expecting erroneously. > > with whatever implementation you choose for your reload (in most cases > you want to notify a service resource instead of an exec, but it's not > more than a rule of thumb). Yes, my class apache includes a Service, and the Exec requires it. But since notifying the service will trigger an restart and not a reload, i do not notify the Service directly ( I see there are open issues #3323 and #1014 ) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
