Documentation

This method define a condition named from the parameter Condition when it is called for the first time. Following agent execution will not define the condition.

This allows executing actions only once on a given machine. The created condition is global to the agent.

In case of reinstallation or factory-reset of the Rudder agent, this method will no longer detect if the condition has already been defined.

Example:

If you use:

condition_once("my_condition")

The first agent run will have the condition my_condition defined, contrary to subsequent runs for which no condition will be defined.
