Hi,
I wanted to know if there is an easy way to replace a file in puppet (using
the file directive) but only when a certain string exists.
My use case:
I have a package that installs a config file, I want to replace that file
with puppet, but I in normal operation the application may also write to
that file.
So a simple replace => true is not sufficient.
I tried with something like this:
define configfile ($source) {
$grepcommand = '/bin/grep --quiet "string to check"'
exec { "check_${name}":
command => "/bin/true",
onlyif => "${grepcommand} ${name}",
}
file { "$name":
ensure => "present",
replace => "true",
mode => "0644",
owner => 'user',
group => 'user',
source => $source,
require => Exec["check_${name}"]
}
}
configfile {"/etc/software/config.xml":
source => "puppet:///modules/software/config.xml"
}
I can't get that to work properly, the file is always getting replaced.
Regards,
Steven
