Guys, check this out: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3/reference/lang_expressions.html
Either way should work. @Jakub, 2 things I see here: * you should generally make sure to use the right scope in your variables. I'm assuming from your code that you want the global facter variable hostname in which case you should use in in a global scope: $::hostname. * Hostname normally only gives you the first part of the fully qualified name in your case that would be 'server1'. if you need the fully qualified name for a server with the domain you usually need to use: $::fqdn Also you can easily check situations like this with a notice(http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/function.html#notice) or notify(http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#notify) statement Hope this helps! -Bernd On Friday, October 11, 2013 6:59:10 AM UTC-7, Werner Flamme wrote: > > Peter Bukowinski [11.10.2013 15:57]: > > On Oct 11, 2013, at 9:06 AM, Werner Flamme <[email protected]<javascript:>> > wrote: > > > >> Peter Bukowinski [11.10.2013 14:39]: > >>> On Oct 11, 2013, at 5:48 AM, Jakub Bittner > >>> <[email protected]<javascript:>> > wrote: > >>> > >>>> Hello, > >>>> > >>>> I created puppet class and I want the file operation to be executed > on all servers but not on server with hostname "'server1.domain.com".
