Verbose Puppet runs are verbose. To make sure the user notices a custom warning message, it would be good to print it only at the end of the run. Is this possible without major breakage of the Puppet execution model?

You can use: 

notify{"That's all folks!": }

There are a few ways you could do this. You could make your init.pp look like:

class foo {
    class  { '::foo::begin': }
    class  { '::foo::end': require => Class['::foo::begin']  }
}

Or you could define custom run stages which is really up to you how you define it. Here's the link:

  • Do you have a working example? I already know how to use notify, it's the whole "make it run last" part that is actually the problem. – l0b0 Jan 21 '16 at 20:39
  • sure, edited my answer – Mike Thoma Jan 26 '16 at 12:34
  • I was really hoping for an example where the message is printed at the end of the Puppet run. The example does not demonstrate this. – l0b0 Feb 01 '16 at 14:10
