Hi Bernard!
The creates attribute is a conditional for the exec run.
>From http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#exec :
creates A file to look for before running the command. The command will
only run if the file *doesn’t exist.*
*
*
So it's actually looking for that file, and running the command you
specified only if it can't find it. It's assumed that your command will
create that file and the exec won't run more than once.
Hope it's clearer now, regards!
