Hi,
When I use an exec resource to create a file, a timeout may occur. As an
example, I can run wget to get a file (not the most elegant solution but
necessary sometimes), or run some other program that depends on the
network to get some data that is necessary to create the file.
This timeout itself is fine, I could increase the timeout, but there are
still cases where I would want puppet to stop after this timeout.
Problem is, what if the file was partially created? I use an exec
resource with the creates attribute, so the next time puppet runs, it
thinks that the exec resource has been satisfied, and it doesn't run the
command again.
Then I'm left, for example, with a half-downloaded file.
Is there some way to do cleanup after a timeout?
I'm thinking something like the ability to run another shell command on
timeout, or perhaps a way to specify that the "creates" file should be
deleted if a timeout occurs.
Does something like this exist?
Regards,
Erwin Bolwidt
