If the class is the one that would be autoloaded from $modulepath/$module/manifests/init.pp, then I'd say it's exactly enough :) Thomas, just make sure that init.pp contains a class that matches the module name. It's safest to put everything you want to run inside the class declaration and include it at the right point. If you put code in init.pp but outside the class declaration, I think it will be evaluated at the moment the class is autoloaded, which might not do predictable things. -- Bruce If the universe were simple enough to be understood, we would be too simple to understand it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
