Actually it didn't , but now I got your attention.
We just adopted the use of adding headers to all of our files that are managed by puppet so people will know not to touch it
file {
"/etc/xen/scripts/network-custom-vlan-bridges":
owner => "root",
group => "root",
mode => "0755",
content => template(
"headers/header-hash.erb',
"xen/co-mmx-network-custom-vlan-bridges.erb");
}
All worked nice however upon bootstrapping our Xen host the bridges stopped working .. running the network-custom-vlan-bridges script manually solved everything and created the appropriate bridges. But at boottime it didn't..
I added some debug info to the script and figured it never got executed at boot time.
Turns out that when I removed the headers Xen actually does configure the bridges at boot time, Xen probably checks for a shebang at the beginning of the file.
Putting the header at the end of the file therefore solved the problem. ,
