RELEASE NOTES
Pre/Post Transaction hooks
- --------------------------
There is a new feature in this release: pre and post transaction
hooks. These hooks allow you to specify commands that should be run
pre and post a Puppet configuration transaction.
They are set with the prerun_command and postrun_command settings in
the puppet.conf configuration file.
prerun_command = /bin/runbeforetransaction
postrun_command = /bin/runaftertransaction
The command must exit with 0, i.e. succeed, otherwise the
transaction will fail - if the pre command fails before the
transaction is run and if the post command fails at the end of the
transaction.
