Hi
I am using puppet to mirror a directory of files, if any of these
change then processes need to be restarted.
class snort {
package {
["snort", "perl-Archive-Tar", "barnyard2", "perl-libwww-perl", "perl-
Crypt-SSLeay"]:
ensure => present;
} # package
user{
"snort":
managehome => true,
home => '/home/snort',
ensure => present;
}
file {
"/home/snort/Rules/raw/":
mode => "640",
owner => snort,
group => snort,
source => 'puppet:///modules/snort/Rules/raw',
recurse => true,
recurselimit => 1,
backup => false,
ensure => present;
}
}
This mirrors the files fine....
in another class:
class monitor {
class pulledpork ( $master) {
exec {
"/home/snort/bin/pulledpork -nc conf/$master/pp.conf":
cwd => "/home/snort",
subscribe => [File["/home/snort/conf/$master/pp", "/home/
snort/Rules/raw"] ],
notify => Service["snort.$master"],
user => "snort";
}
}
.......
}
i.e. what I want to do is run pulled pork if its config or any of the
raw rule files change.
What happens is that PP gets run every time:
notice: /Stage[main]/Snort/File[/home/snort/Rules/raw]/checksum:
checksum changed '{mtime}Fri Dec 10 16:02:04 +1300 2010' to '{mtime}
Fri Dec 10 16:05:00 +1300 2010'
info: /Stage[main]/Snort/File[/home/snort/Rules/raw]: Scheduling
refresh of Exec[/home/snort/bin/pulledpork -nc conf/dmzi/pp.conf]
it would seem that each time puppet runs the mtime on the directory is
changed and this triggers an event next time...
How should I work around this? I would rather not enumerate all the
files in the directory...
Thanks, Russell.
