Would you mind pasting the copy of udp_status.rb into gist.github.com to share? This will help us understand what your goal is. > D:\>facter udp_status > true > > Now, My question will be: How can I use thi fact on a resource exec, Is > this possible?, I tried using with onlyif => "$udp_status" but I got > several errors about convertions and another stuffs... > The onlyif parameter of the exec resource is meant to be set to a shell command. If the exit status is OK (usually a return code of 0 on unix) then the exec resource on the system is considered out of sync with the catalog. Puppet executes the command specified with the command parameter when the resource is out of sync. It's definitely possible to use the fact with an exec resource, or any resource Puppet can manage. Since it's a variable you can use it in any string in the manifest files. You can also use it in a template with the template() function. > What would be the correct way to use a fact on a resource EXEC on > windows? What are you trying to accomplish? Since you were using onlyif, perhaps execute a command only if a udp port is open? -Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
