Hi Sean,

this is the snippet that initializes the WSO2 server:     https://gist.github.com/FabryZio/5444480

and this is the snippet that tries to modify the keystores:     https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5444348

They are all parts of the LWRP

Thank you

Can you gist your bash resource?

Hi Noah,
thank you for answer.

My problem is that, in the case of keystore update, I have to create a copy of the keystore, add or substitute required certs (only possible through bash commands) and then compare the modified keystore with the original in order to understand if I really added new certificates. Only in that case I will replace the original one. So I think I have to execute "bash" resources anyway.

One other possible case is the following... In a recipe I define my LWRP like this:

  wso2platform_greg wso_progr  do
    ...
    private_key wso_key
    public_cert wso_cert
    cacerts wso_cacerts
    action :install
    notifies :initialize, "wso2platform_greg[#{wso_progr}]", :delayed
  end

In this case, if :install action changes the configuration of my resource I have to re-initialize the server.
The :initialize action only restarts the server with some particular command line parameters, but I've to make this operation through a "bash" resource.

This seems to start an infinite loop as the "bash" resource cause my resource to be marked as changed and this starts notification again.
I would like the "bash" resource to cause a notification only when it really modify my wso2platform_greg resource, if possible.

Thank you


Use not_if/only_if to make their activation idempotent.
