One way to express this is to write a custom fact to test whether or not a file is on the client system. Shouldn't be hard to follow the custom fact documentation. http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/AddingFacts Then you can simply wrap a conditional around the fact you create. if $yourfact { include yourclass } > > exemple > > I have a condition class. > I have to create on the server the condition class but i do not want to have > it execute on every client.

So you can use the pattern above, but I bet there is a better way to model you configuration. What is you use case? Ignore Puppet and CFengine for a moment and describe the problem. Often times there are simpler more maintainable patterns of expression that will yield the same configuration. > > > thanks for your help. > > regards > > > > Cheers, Teyo -- Teyo Tyree :: www.reductivelabs.com :: +1.615.275.5066 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
