jcbollinger,
Thanks for your help, it worked perfectly, although it did leave me asking
two more questions.
What's up with the setting of 'undef' for some of the variables? They do
not appear to be 'required' and if the "undef" is put into "'s appears to
fail. ( $agent_name = "undef")
Then it appears that you test to see if the variable that was previously
set to 'undef' is set, this leads me to believe that setting it to undef
makes puppet ignore it as not being set. So if your test detects anything
other than 'undef', it will set the '<variable>_real' with whatever the
variable was set to, except undef.?? Man I know I am making this more
complicated than it needs to be but I really want to fully understand this.
if $agent_name {
$agent_name_real = $agent_name
} else {
$agent_name_real = "WEBAPP_EC2EAST_${envir_upcase}_SERVICE"
}
# ... use $agent_name_real
}
Thanks,
J
