How to execute a script from the server

[mac01]

Hi,

How to only execute the script from the server instead of first copying the file & then executing the script from puppet ?

Thanks

But that is how it works.

file{
"/etc/puppet/scripts":
ensure => directory,
owner => "root",
group => "root",
mode => 70oo;

"/etc/puppet/scripts/checkUsers.bash":
owner => "root",
group => "root",
mode => 700,
source => "puppet:///modules/password/checkUsers.bash";
}

exec{ "/etc/puppet/scripts/checkUsers.bash":
user => "root",
logoutput => true,
require => File["/etc/puppet/scripts/checkUsers.bash"];
}

My answer depends on what you're trying accomplish. If you're trying
to get some data to fill in a resource, then a function is a good
choice. Generate() will likely do what you need. If you're trying to
manage something only on the server, I'd still model this as a file
and exec resource so it shows up in your reports and configuration
catalog.

Hope this helps.
