It's just normal subscript notation. $ntpd_servers[0]
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3/reference/lang_datatypes.html#arrays Just as a note, ntpd has an option, -g I believe, that's used to set the time and start the service all at once. I think it's a little preferred over ntpdate these days. Not sure what flavor of linux you're running, but on centos, that flag is default when run through he init script. It would probably be cleaner for you if you could use that flag and then just a service resource subscribed to the conf file.
