John I've updated to use the new fact, however I'm getting some intermittent hanging issues when Puppet agent is loading facts... Tracked it down to the below fact, and specifically it looks like a '\n' is creeping into the db var, which is causing the grep exec to hang :( Put in some additi

John Cheers for that... Still getting the hang of Ruby, and looks like it allows code to be cut down to a one liner quite easily :D Will give your code a test and report back... Cheers Gavin On Monday, 11 March 2013 14:44:54 UTC, jcbollinger wrote: > > > > On Friday, March 8, 2013 9:43:30 AM

Google to the rescue again... Stumbled across this link: http://serverfault.com/questions/325591/puppet-checking-sets-of-variables This suggested using the "inline_template" function to do an erb evaluation of my variable... So changed the following line: # Get export path fact for db $
