Run this only once!!

[vella1tj]

Hi, I am trying run a package once and when it completes I want my
manifest to create a touch file and from that file being placed there
it will not run again. I have this so far, but have been running into
syntax problems/invalid parameters.


#Package to install
package { 'Bindscript20100601.dmg':
provider => pkgdmg,
ensure => installed,
source => 'temp/location/rightnow/Bindscript20100601.dmg',
notify => [Exec['blahblah']],
onlyif => "test -e /var/db/.bindscript",
}
exec {'blahblah':
command =>'touch /var/db/.bindscript',
path =>['/usr/bin']
}

If you need more information please ask.

Couple of things.

onlyif is only valid on exec resources.

This shouldn't actually be necessary. The pkgdmg provider should keep
track of which things it's installed, so it won't keep trying to install
the .dmg on every run.

Is the following resource definition not working for you?

package { 'Bindscript20100601.dmg':
provider => pkgdmg,
ensure => installed,
source => 'temp/location/rightnow/Bindscript20100601.dmg',
}

package { 'Bindscript20100601.dmg':
     provider => pkgdmg,
     ensure   => installed,
     source   => 'temp/location/rightnow/Bindscript20100601.dmg',
  } 

Seems to work fine I return this once it runs "notice: //Package[Bindscript20100601.pkg.dmg]/ensure: created"

So it will only run once on the machine?

and for further detail, due to OS X not having a real package management system, the way Puppet works out if a package was installed is by dropping a .puppet_pkgdmg_.... file in /var/db

 

[Jacob Helwig]

Correct. As long as the file that Nigel pointed out remains there, it
won't try to install the .dmg again.

After I ran that manifest, with this only

#Package to install
package { 'Bindscript20100601.dmg':
provider => pkgdmg,
ensure => installed,

source => '/etc/puppet/bindscript/files/
Bindscript20100601.dmg',


I am now receiving these errors and on the second error,
Bindscript.dmg disappears as if it's deleting itself. I've created the
dmg in disk utility in Mac osx.

[vella1tj]

the errors are:

err: //Package[Bindscript20100601.dmg]/ensure: change from absent to
present failed: Execution of '/usr/bin/hdiutil mount -plist -nobrowse -
readonly -noidme -mountrandom /tmp /Users/vella1tj/Desktop/

Can you download the dmg and mount it using the same command?

That looks like either a corrupt dmg or a (possibly temporary) issue
with the disk mounting framework to me.
