It seems a very clever approach!!! If it works could be the approach for not having dependency. I do not agree that the two module are dependend, they just depend on the same data, but given the data should be able to work on their own. This problem is also mine in trying to design modules that do

Fosiul, You are probably better off using your init or service management system to achieve this. Puppet isn't really designed to run often enough to reliably keep your script running. I would solve this with a simple systemd service file, using the Restart=always. Use Puppet to install the scrip

Thanks for a quick response. I could use SC, but there are corner cases that require a lot of exec's and flow control, which looks quite ugly in Puppet. It would be nice if something like this was built in: 1. If service doesn't exist, create it (sc create) 2. Set recovery actions (sc failure
