You can create arrays of identical resources:
file { [ '/etc/motd',
'/etc/issue',
'/etc/issue.net',
]:
ensure => file,
owner => 0,
group => 0,
content => template('manage_banners/some_banner_text.erb'),
}
Under the hood, when the catalog is compiled, it still gets split out
into 3 separate resources that are managed independently, but in your
manifests you can define them as a single block.
The other option, if these 3 files are always to be the same, is to pick
one to put the actual content into and then use symlinks or hardlinks
for the other two files.

Its probably easiest to explain what I want to accomplish.
I want to create the following 3 files: */etc/motd, /etc/issue,
/etc/issue.net* from a single (1) puppet file resource using the
content => template('template.erb') syntax.
I don't want to create 3 separate file resources and use the exact
same syntax three (3) times.
I have a class (I am a novice puppet code) and here is what I have in
it so far...
class manage_banners::text {
{ file '/etc/motd':
ensure => 'file',
owner => '0',
group => '0',
content => template('some_banner_text.erb'),
}
}
class manage_banners::gdm {
<snippet ... nothing in here yet>
}
class manage_banners::kde {
<snippet ... nothing in here yet>
}
In the manage_banners::text class I don't want to place 3 file
resources (one for each of the /etc/ files).
I am thinking that there is a solution for this, but I don't know how
to keyword search for something like this.
Please help, and thank you,
Warron
