How to delete all files in a dir except for 2?

[Jasmine Lognnes]

Hello =)

Is it possible to have puppet delete all files in /commands except for c66 and c90 ?

There are ~100 files in /commands, so I would rather not do a ensure => purge for each of them =)

Are there a good way to achieve this?

Kind regards

Try something like:

file { '/commands':
ensure => directory,
recurse => true,
purge => true,
}

That will nuke any file not managed by puppet.

Be careful of interactions with stuff like yumrepo, of course.
