Excuse my newbieness, but I'm having a basic misunderstanding regarding
loops.
Say I have: joesfriends = jack, sam, sally
I need to add each entry into a file - one per line.
$joesfriends.each | String $joesfriends| {# loop
file { "/etc/list_of_joes_friends":
line => "${joesfrie
Why does this:
class mymodule {
notify { "booboo": }
notify { "booboo": }
provoke the error:
Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Duplicate declaration:
Notify[booboo] is already declared in file
That's is a simplified version of my actual use case:
$mythings.each |

Thanks, I'll investigate that option.

How can I get the result of an action and use it conditionally in my code?
As a very simple example:
package { "wget" : ensure => 'present' }
# if that failed, do X
To put this in context, some actual use cases I have:
- attempt to register an agent to a remote service and if that fails, open
a

Thanks, that may work in some cases. I'm still trying to find a more
general approach, though.
This is an example I found online that would do what I want: check if a dir
exists and if so, do something:
class foo {
exec { "is foo present":
command => "/bin/true",
onlyif => "/usr/bin/test -d /foo"
}
file { "create a file if dir foo is present":
path => "/path/otherfoo",
I think I got this. My main issue was the 'true' logic with an 'onlyif',
because that's always only going to either run (= and therefore meet the
requirement) or not run at all (= which also meets the requirement since
it's not a failure).
I feel the choice of words here leaves room for confusi
Got it, thanks everyone.
Just one small point to add - I'm not actually directly concerned with
Execs here. If you look at my original example, I was needing to do a
conditional check like "if directory exists then...", and my Exec-based
solution for it is just an ugly workaround. I understand
Can I configure puppet to use a DNS name that would work on two different
hosts? For example, I have host1 and host2.example.com.
I'd like agents to connect to "puppet.example.com" which will point to one
of these. I wamt to be sure agents can connect to either without
certificate errors.
