Hi

I just though of another case where this would be useful, running
'newaliases' after /etc/mail/aliases has been updated.  What do
other  people do?  I have

mailalias { foo:
        ...
        notify => [ Exec[newaliases] ]
}

on each mailalias type.  I thought last night that:

Mailalias {
        notify => [ Exec[newaliases] ]
}

would work, but it does not seem to.

this should do it. but this definition should be included as first,
before any the other Mailalias definitions. I have plenty of such
statements, and they work fine.
Another thing is to add a wrapper define, which will set the
appropriate defaults on your exec. Actually for the alias type I do it
that way.

What version? I'm running 0.24.7. I have other resource defaults, and they did work. I have not tested it lately. I have defined the Mailalias within the 'mail' class and I'm testing in my 'ssh::client' class. The mail is imported before ssh and the mail class is included before the ssh::client class.
