Hey all,
I have a simple chunk of code, in which if a file is changed, I notify a
service to restart. This all works fine. I had thought that notify is
simply just a notify that forces something to run. I also thought that the
code that you are notifying will always run, regardless of the dependent
object being ran (even if the file doesn't change, the service code is
still executed). In my testing, this does not appear to be the case.
Code snip:
file { 'something': source => "puppet:///modules/${module_name}/something",
path => "/somepath/something", mode => "0755", owner => "root",
group => "root", ensure => "file", notify => Service['someservice'], }
service { 'someservice': enable => 'true', ensure => 'running',
provider => 'redhat', }
What I am finding is that I can stop someservice above and do a puppet run. The
service is not started by Puppet. The service block of code is not executed at
all unless file "something" changes. Is this the expected behavior? I read
the puppet doc and it doesn't get real clear on this. I would think the
service code would always execute, but it appears the notify relationship is
stopping that from happening.
Mike
