You may find the following example useful. It's a syslog class I use that uses
case statements to set values for variables that are different depending on the
operating system:
class syslog {
case $operatingsystem {
'Fedora': {
$servicename = 'rsyslog'
$config = '/etc/rsyslog.conf'
}
'RedHat','Scientific': {
case $operatingsystemrelease {
/^6.*/: {
$servicename = 'rsyslog'
$config = '/etc/rsyslog.conf'
}
default: {
$servicename = 'syslog'
$config = '/etc/syslog.conf'
}
}
}
}
service { $servicename:
ensure => running,
enable => true,
hasrestart => true,
hasstatus => true,
}
exec { "echo '*.*;local4.none @rsyslog' >> ${config}":
unless => "grep -e '^\*\.\*;local4.none.*rsyslog$' ${config}",
notify => Service[$servicename],
}
file { '/tmp/.syslog_restarted':
ensure => file,
content => '.',
notify => Service[$servicename],
}
}
If this doesn't help, can paste your code here so we give more specific
feedback?
