I know that notice() is a function, and notify{} is a resource. The
documentation says that much. However, it doesn't really go beyond
that. The documentation
provides examples of how to use notify{} to notify another resource
when it changes, but I don't believe it gives you any indication
whatsoever that you can use it in a stand alone fashion like this.
Where is that use documented? How would anyone except the core puppet
developers know that you could even do this?
I'm launching puppet with 'service puppet restart'. What libraries? If
you know their names I can search for them.
