in my opinion it's far beyond "syntactic sugar around an exec". Your right onlyif is part of the way how to evaluate the state of one single resource, but a condition in the manifest is a decision whether to manage certain resource(s) at all. This is a decision which is done by the master, however the state of one single resource is evaluated by the client. cheers pete --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
