Documentation

ajlanghorn/rcs — version 0.1.1 Jun 20th 2015

ajlanghorn/rcs

A Puppet module for configuring /etc/default/rcS, a script to control the behaviour of boot-time scripts.

Usage

Installation

If you're using a Puppet package managment system such as r10k or librarian-puppet, you can include this module in your Puppetfile as such:

mod ajlanghorn/rcs

Configuration

A number of options are available to be configured using this module, including:

  • TMPTIME
  • SULOGIN
  • DELAYLOGIN
  • UTC
  • VERBOSE
  • FSCKFIX

Brief descriptions can be found in init.pp, or via your distro's help system.

To configure an option, you can either include this class inside a manifest and provide an option, or include it and provide options in Hiera. The latter is a more extensible way of using this module, so is recommended.

Hiera

In your manifest, include the module:

include rcs

And then configure options in your Hiera backend, namespaced around rcs. For instance, to configure VERBOSE to yes, set:

rcs::verbose: 'yes'

Where an option takes a numerical value, the value can be passed without quoting it to transform it to a string. For instance, to set TMPTIME to 7, use:

rcs::tmptime: 7

Class inclusion

In your manifest, include the module as such:

class { 'rcs' :
 verbose => 'yes', 
}
