Pristine

Watches if any file managed by Puppet was modified.

Installation

$ gem install pristine

Usage

$ pristine -h
Usage: pristine [options]
        --config FILE                Config file
    -l, --log FILE                   Log output
    -f, --files                      Files list to watch
    -h, --help                       Show this message
        --version                    Show version

By default, it will look for the resources /var/lib/puppet/state/resources.txt file generated by Puppet. If your Puppet's statedir differs from /var/lib/puppet/state, use -l FILE to specify the file path.

$ pristine -l /path/to/your/resources.txt
