Puppet device file

[Sergiu Cornea]

Hello guys,

I am trying to create a device files and I am not really sure if i'm applying the right check.

   exec { "creates_random_file_for_${name}":

      command => "mknod -m 0444 ${dev_random} c 1 9",

      path    => '/usr/local/bin/:/bin/',

      unless  => "/usr/bin/test -c ${dev_random}",

    }

Can someone please guide me in the right direction?

Thank you!

Regards,

Cip

Hi,

looks good to me. For debugging this, you can
1. run the commands by hand and
2. use the --debug flag to watch Puppet run them

HTH,
