….Yeah, now I’m not sure. I suspect the docs are wrong, because I’ve never seen that “runs at most 2 times” behavior in action.

It doesn't seem like that would be desirable behavior anyway.

Thanks for your response.

If the exec has already run and then receives an event, it runs its command up to two times.

That should say something like:

If the exec has already run and then receives an event, it runs only one more time after all the refresh events have been sent. It runs at most two times in this condition: once for the original evaluation, once for all the refresh events.

This makes more sense now that I understand the implementation.

refreshonly

is implemented as a test that always fails; this inhibits the normal execution: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/2990e9c/lib/puppet/type/exec.rb#L407 Refresh events are handled a a separate path to run the command: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/2990e9c/lib/puppet/type/exec.rb#L672 I had always expected that the resource would "know" whether it is being refreshed or not, and conditionally inhibit the normal execution based on

refreshonly

and whether any refresh events had been received.

Good afternoon from "Survived Hurricane Nicole" country. I'm going to manage my /etc/hosts file (RHEL) and have considered puppetlabs-host_core and puppet-module-hosts but I'm confused as to how to properly purge the /etc/hosts file of unmanaged entries. I read this post about configuring:

resources { 'host':
  purge => true,
}

but that seems a little non-standard to me. Is using the resources snippet (above) the proper way to purge the /etc/hosts? It does work but the metadadata.json file says that ghoneycutt's module does support purging of unmanaged entries but I've not found the correct way to purge. Should I use the resources trick above?

So, I'm looking at setting up the following workflow with puppet open source and would like to be pointed in the right direction.

Wasn't sure if there was already a module floating around that does this or if I'll need to design something,, The end part and doing the server specific acceptance tests is something i'll probably need to work the longest on.

This may be more of ansible friendly though?
