Thanks you john for your answer. I comment you something that work well for me.
I think get a solution while reading puppet cookbook. It's based on run stages. I have site.pp : import 'sync_files.pp' Then, sync_files.pp is : class sync_files { notify { "sync whitelist file": } file { "/etc/puppet/whitelist": ensure => present, owner => root, group => root, mode => 644, source => 'puppet:///files/whitelist', } } And finally insert the following two sentences into class updssh stage { "first": before => Stage["main"] } class { "sync_files": stage => "first" } That's all. Testing results are good enough. Regards, eduardo.
