Thanks for the response. There doesn't seem to be another process
updating the files on before the puppet run. I believe the issue was the
presence of a dynamic tag on the template file.
The problem appears to be that the tag <%= @uptime_seconds %> was in
some of the configuration files. When I removed that tag from the apache
config files, and from the tomcat6 config files, there were no longer
any updates due to file changes.
The <%= @uptime_seconds %> appears to be set before execution of the
puppet run, which I didn't expect, since tags such as <%= @fqdn %>
resolve on the target agent node.
Does this sound correct?
if so, how do I know which tags or variables will be set before the
puppet execution, and which are set on the agent side after the catalog
run?
@uptime_seconds and @fqdn are both facts. Facts are supplied by the
agent. In this case, uptime_seconds is how many seconds the node has
been up. This will obviously change between runs. For a list of what
facts are available, you can run `facter -p` on the node.
