Ok, using notify{}, the client now says: Sep 9 17:13:38 hproxy10 puppet-agent[30537]: 0.25.5 on hproxy10.h.foo.com Sep 9 17:13:38 hproxy10 puppet-agent[30537]: (/Stage[main]/Puppet::Setup/Notify[0.25.5 on hproxy10.h.foo.com]/message) defined 'message' as '0.25.5 on hproxy10.h.foo.com' I know I'll get slammed for asking, but where is the use of notify{} in this manner documented? I didn't know you could do that. WHat does notify do? As far as the docs are concerned, it's a resource type. Interestingly, it returns 0.25.5...
