I'm using the SimpleText recipe and Augeas plugin to modify files in
place.  I'd like to notify the appropriate File resource that a
modification is about to take place so puppet can backup the file. Maybe
this is already possible but I haven't found any examples or
documentation on how to accomplish this.  I think a natural way to do
this would be to use the subscribe or notify parameters, something like
this.

class sshd {
  package { "openssh-server": ensure => installed }

  file { "sshd_config":
    name => $operatingsystem ? {
      default => "/etc/ssh/sshd_config"
    },
  }

  service { "sshd":
    name => $operatingsystem ? {
      default => sshd
    },
    hasrestart => true,
    hasstatus => true,
    ensure    => running,
    subscribe => [Package["openssh-server"], File["sshd_config"]]
  }

  augeas {
    "sshd_config_port" :
      notify => [ Service["sshd"], File["sshd_config"] ]
      context => "/files/etc/ssh/sshd_config",
      changes => "set Port 22",
      onlyif  => "get Port != 22",
  }
}
