Exec resource don't write file after the command

[Rost]

Hi all,

I'm trying to have the exec resource write a file after the command but it don't.

here is the resource declaration

class gepet {

notify { 'begin':}

file { '/root/essai/html':

ensure => present,

content => "Wrote By Yves Nton",

notify => Exec['test'],

}

exec { 'test':

path => "/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin",

cwd => "/root/essai",

command => "rm -rf /root/essai/html",

creates => "/root/essai/exec.txt",

refreshonly => true

}

notify { 'end':

require => File['/root/essai/html']

}

}

suggestions ?

Thanks

The "creates" attribute tells Puppet that the "command" attribute actually creates a file, and that the Exec{} should not be run if that file exists.  You need to alter your command:

command => "rm -rf /root/essai/html;touch /root/essai/exec.txt"
