ahh, ok. We are planning on using the "creates" parameter as an "run this unless file is there" directive. Our scenario is that we need to run one time scripts on machines. We figure we can use a file type to create a local script to run, then use the exec to exec the script. At the end of the script we will "touch /var/puppet/receipts/somefile". Might look something like this. If there is a better way to push a one time script to nodes, please let me know.
class run_one_time {
file { "/var/puppet/script/myscript001.sh":
content => "#!/bin/sh; do a bunch of stuff; touch
/var/puppet/receipts/myscript001;"
before => Exec[runOnce]
}
exec { runOnce:
command => "/var/puppet/script/myscript.sh",
creates => "/var/puppet/receipts/myscript001",
path => ["/usr/bin", "/usr/sbin"]
}
}
