According to the http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/metaparameter.html#notify there is magic, namely the implicit 'before'. ...snip References to one or more objects that depend on this object. This parameter is the opposite of subscribe — it creates a dependency relationship like before, and also causes the dependent object(s) to be refreshed when this object is changed snap... but i remember vaguely that magic did not work for me not so long ago. hmm. -- Kind Regards, Markus Falb
