# this is a demo of conditional executions using 'only_if', which can skip

# Below we're going to define some expressions.
|
|
#
|
|
# Not only can we assign variables for reuse, but we can also assign conditional
|
|
# expressions. By keeping these in 'vars', the task section remains
|
|
# extraordinarily clean, and not littered with programming language
|
|
# constructs -- so it's easily skimmed by humans.
|
|
#
|
|
# Remember to quote any variables if they are not numbers!
|
|
#
|
|
# Interesting fact: aside from the $variables, these expressions are actually
|
|
# tiny bits of Python. They are evaluated in the context of each host, so different
|
|
# steps can be skipped on different hosts! They should evaluate to either True
|
|
# or False

# NOTE:
|
|
#
|
|
# facter and ohai variables can be used in only_if statements too

# ex: "'$facter_operatingsystem' == 'CentOS'", which bubble up automatically

# from the managed machines

#
|
|
# this example won't do that though, as you might not have facter or ohai,
|
|
# but you get the idea...
