Defined in:

lib/puppet/type/postfix_master.rb

Providers:

Overview

Manages Postfix services.

The resource name can be used as a shortcut for specifying the service and type parameters by using the form <service>/<type> otherwise it can be left as a normal string.

Properties

• chroot (defaults to: -)

  Whether the service runs chrooted.

  Supported values:

  • -
  • n
  • y
• command

  The command name and arguments.

  The command to run. If the command includes any -o options then these follow the same autorequire rules as for postfix_main resources with the exception that it doesn't autorequire a setting that is redefined with -o in the same command.

  If the command uses pipe(8) then the value from the user= attribute is parsed and any existing user or group resource will be autorequired.

• ensure (defaults to: present)

  The basic property that the resource should be in.

  Supported values:

  • present
  • absent
• limit (defaults to: -)

  Process limit.

  Supported values:

  • -
  • %r{^\d+$}
• private (defaults to: -)

  Whether or not access is restricted.

  Supported values:

  • -
  • n
  • y
• unprivileged (defaults to: -)

  Whether the service runs with root privileges or not.

  Supported values:

  • -
  • n
  • y
• wakeup (defaults to: -)

  Supported values:

  • -
  • %r{^\d+[?]?$}
