Hi Milind,
The critical difference here is that subscribe =>
File[$old_launch_agent_path] does NOT tell Puppet to watch for changes in
that file on disk.
Instead it will run that exec if Puppet itself is managing that resource
and makes changes to that resource. In other words,
File[$old_launch_agent_path] has to be in the catalog, and it only fires
when it's out of sync and Puppet makes changes to it. Something like the
following:
$old_launch_agent_path =
"${home}/Library/LaunchAgents/com.company.program.plist"
file { $old_launch_agent_path: <----------------------------------┐
ensure => file, |
#... |
} |
|
exec { 'stop-old-program': |
command => "/bin/launchctl unload ${old_launch_agent_path}", |
refreshonly => true, |
subscribe => File[$old_launch_agent_path], # ----------------┘
}
