Maybe I've missed something, but I don't see why your second example doesn't work.

# Our order and notify relationships
File['patcher-client.service'] ~> Exec['systemctl  daemon-reload']
File['patcher-client.service'] ~> Service['patcher-client']

# Our order only relationships
Exec['systemctl  daemon-reload'] -> Service['patcher-client']

I'm having a problem getting some dependencies exactly right.

This is the code I originally wrote:

File['/usr/lib/systemd/system/patcher-client.service']~>Exec['systemctl daemon-reload']~>Service['patcher-client']

It works great except... oops... if any *other* module does Exec['systemctl daemon-reload'], then Service['patcher-client'] restarts. That additional restart is unneeded.

I thought about rewriting it as:

File['/usr/lib/systemd/system/patcher-client.service']~>Exec['systemctl daemon-reload'] File['/usr/lib/systemd/system/patcher-client.service']~>Service['patcher-client']

But then how would Puppet know to do the Exec[] before the Service[]? I could add:

     Exec['systemctl daemon-reload']->Service['patcher-client']

But then we're basically in the same situation as the original code. Right?

I guess I kind of want something like this: (not real syntax)

File['/usr/lib/systemd/system/patcher-client.service']~> ( Exec['systemctl daemon-reload']~>Service['patcher-client'] )

How do I achieve that?

Thanks in advance,
Tom
