This answered all my questions, thx! Should hopefully clean up my manifests
a bit those execs were overkill.

I keep writing these exec types to things like service restart,
sounds like I dont need them and could just use subscribe which will in
effect do the same thing.
exec { 'sssd-restart':
command => '/sbin/service sssd restart',
refreshonly => true,
require => File['/etc/sssd/s

That should read "but subscribe adds the additional..."

resources and the first two either listen on events or

Can some help explain the differences and use cases of subscribe and
require. They seem to have a bit overlap in the sense that they do the same
thing almost. I understand a require sets up a dependency. So for eg the
