I'm slowly getting up to speed on puppet (coming over from chef but honestly haven't used either in probably 3 years so I'm relearning the learning curve.).
We are using puppet 3.7.1 on our hosts, what I am trying to do is this. I have a file /etc/install-class which when we kickstart a machine depending on what you choose will result in this file having CLASS="some string" I am trying to find the "proper" way to create a cron job based on this file. IE: if /etc/install-class == CLASS=render then create a cron job otherwise do nothing. I know I can hackily get around this with doing it in bash and a onlyif exec statement. But running a shell, then running grep, is expensive timewise (yes yes, only a few ms but when trying to get machines built ASAP ms add up). I've done a lot of digging today but I can't seem to figure out an elegant way to make this work without involving a few modules written by people (I'm not adverse to using modules but I don't like using a module to do something rather simple.. or at least what I consider something simple). Some thoughts? And thanks in advance for the help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
