Hello list.
I'd like to implement a basic 'onlyif' property, as existing in 'exec'
type, to 'service' type. Rather than patching the original puppet code,
I think I could use the custom type mechanism, and implement my own
'conditional_service' type. However, in order to keep the benefit of
existing providers, I think renaming the type isn't the best solution.
So, would it possible to either inherit the original type definition,
and just add the new property, or distributing a modified type copy as
part of a module would also replace original type definition for this
module ?
BTW, the exact intent is to allow to test the configuration file syntax
before reloading a service, and avoid reloading it with an invalid
state. Something as:
file { "/etc/openldap/slapd.conf":
content => template("slapd.conf.erb"),
notify => Service["slapd"]
}
service { "slapd":
ensure => "running",
onlyif => "/usr/sbin/slaptest"
}
