    I have an array of items, all of which contain say hostabc and some bogus/fugazzi stuff. array = ['host/hostabc','wsman/hostabc','termsrv/hostabc',host/bogus','host/fugazzi'] Is there an easy way to return only the items that are NOT hostabc ?
  • n
    So in this case, just "host/bogus" and "host/fugazi"?
  • r
    exactly, but i don't know its bogus or fugazi. its just no hostabc.
  • r
    maybe lamba filter expression of sort? i can't recall how i did it for the life of me.
  • n
    Copy code
    $stuff = ['host/hostabc','wsman/hostabc','termsrv/hostabc','host/bogus','host/fugazi']

$not_hostabc = $stuff.filter |String[1] $thing| {
  $thing !~ /\/hostabc$/
}

notice($not_hostabc)
  • n
    Copy code
    $ puppet apply foo.pp
Notice: Scope(Class[main]): [host/bogus, host/fugazi]

    I'd do it using 
    filter()
    and a regex.
  • r
    thats exactly what i needed

    thank you for that super fast response.
  • r
    one more slight addtl question - if hostabc regex were myvar, would I need to use
    Copy code
    Regexp("${myvar}") ?

    Close. That'd work, but it's not as specific of a regex as my first example, so you'd get false positives. You'll want to keep the 
    /
    and 
    $
    in the regex to anchor the start and end of it. Like this:
    Copy code
    $not_this = 'hostabc'

$stuff_that_is_not_this = $stuff.filter |String[1] $thing| {
  $thing !~ Regexp("/${not_this}$")
}
  • r
    yep, was just about to type this.

    hi all, find files in dummy folder and set permission to 755, it works so far, if there a way to do it better, I mean onlyif is not so nice! I want run exec only if there a files that are not excutable. thank you all
    Copy code
    exec { 'set permissions to 755':
                path => '/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin',
                command => 'find /usr/lib/dummy/ -type f -exec chmod 755 {} \;',
                onlyif => "find /usr/lib/dummy/ -type f -exec  sh -c  'if [ -x {} ]; then echo 0; else echo 1; fi' sh {} \;",
        }

    I think you need to upgrade to Puppet 6 for Ubuntu 20.04 support.

    Looking for advice on managing authselect on RHEL. I'm not finding much on the forge regarding authselect and I'd like something compatible with authconfig if possible.
  • b
    I have a feeling I'm going down a rabbit hole as this will [probably] affect PAM.d stuff as well.
  • b
    I'm testing ghoneycutt-pam but I don't know how/if it will fit in with authselect.

    This is not something puppet should do, really. create a script and schedule it via systemd timer, that part can be in puppet
  • n
    Puppet doesn't use 
    /
    to mean start of a line, if that's what you mean. It uses standard regex and the usual 
    ^
    . I referred to that as an anchor in this case specifically because the substring I was trying to filter by was 
    /hostabc
    . I was "anchoring" the search pattern at the start with a literal forward slash character, not the start of a line.

    Is there a way to test for the presence of a class elsewhere in the catalog to make a decision?
  • n
    Do you want to check if that class exists and could be declared, or that it has already been declared?
