The solution to this was easier than expected.
I simply write the folowing file and execute it with puppet apply
-----
$source = 'puppet.example.com'
file{'/etc/sudoers':
source => [ "puppet://$source/files/sudo/sudoers/${fqdn}/sudoers",
"puppet://$source/files/sudo/sudoers/sudoers",
"puppet://$source/sudo/sudoers/${operatingsystem}/sudoers",
"puppet://$source/sudo/sudoers/sudoers" ],
owner => root, group => 0, mode => 0440;
}
-----
It then just deploys this one file without the need of compiling a
catalog. I can call this from cron then as often as i wish.
I saw that some use the shebang "#!/usr/bin/puppet apply" to start such
manifests directly as a script. This does not seam to work for me. All i
get is:
./puppet_sync_sudo2.pp: line 3: =: command not found
./puppet_sync_sudo2.pp: line 5: file{/tmp/sudoers:: No such file or directory
./puppet_sync_sudo2.pp: line 6: =: No such file or directory
./puppet_sync_sudo2.pp: line 7: puppet:///files/sudo/sudoers/sudoers,: No
such file or directory
./puppet_sync_sudo2.pp: line 8: puppet:///sudo/sudoers//sudoers,: No such
file or directory
./puppet_sync_sudo2.pp: line 9: puppet:///sudo/sudoers/sudoers: No such
file or directory
./puppet_sync_sudo2.pp: line 10: owner: command not found
./puppet_sync_sudo2.pp: line 11: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
./puppet_sync_sudo2.pp: line 11: `}'
Any ideas?
Greetings
Andy
