Hi,
I'm trying to find a way to configure the firewall on centos systems using
puppet by copying the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file and restarting the
iptables service.
That part is simple to accomplish. The twist I need to add though is that I
only want to do this if a copy of that file for the node exists on the
server. If this file doesn't
exists then I want puppet to not replace the file on the client and not
restart the service.

Is there a way to accomplish this sort of conditional execution?

Regards,
Dennis

    Have a look on:
    https://github.com/kwilczynski/puppet-functions/blob/master/lib/puppet/parser/functions/exists.rb


    Maybe it will be of any use to you in this case.

    Thanks, this looks like it will do the trick. The lack of puppet:// support
    probably means I will have to hard-code a path to a directory somewhere but
    that shouldn't be to big of a deal.

    Apologies for that :-(

    Adding support for "puppet://" is quite tricky (there is a lot going on
    under-the-hood with this one), and I never have the time to do it (unless
    somebody is willing to help out and/or sponsor).

    For the time being, please bare with fully-qualified paths ...

    I didn't mean to imply that this was your fault and I already knew that the
    puppet support probably was missing because it's quite tricky to implement.
    Since I've started looking into writing my own functions and modules and
    get a bit deeper into puppet I might actually look into this myself if I
    find the time. If I make any progress there you can expect a pull request
    for the changes :)

    Thank you! That's very kind :) Let me know if I can help and/or we can join
