I would have wrapped everything up in a shell script and simply named the shell script as the namevar, but that's just me.

Try running the agent in the foreground with debug on, that will give you a better error message.

/etc/init.d/puppet stop; puppet agent --debug --verbose --no-daemonize

(There are likely better flags, but I use that out of habit.)

[Hai Tao]

I have set up inventory service to save my client's fact, as

[master]
facts_terminus = inventory_active_record
dblocation = {sqlite file path (sqlite only)}
dbadapter = {sqlite3|mysql|postgresql|oracle_enhanced}
dbname = {database name (all but sqlite)}
dbuser = {database user (all but sqlite)}
dbpassword = {database password (all but sqlite)}
dbserver = {database server (MySQL and PostgreSQL only)}
dbsocket = {database socket file (MySQL only; optional)}

the question is if I then config the stored config, will the db conflicts?

storeconfigs = true
dbadapter = mysql
dbuser = puppet
dbpassword = password
dbserver = localhost
dbsocket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

as many are overlaped, such as dbadapter, dbpassword? I also do not
understand what stored config store other than facts.

Thankls.

no it is working I made a mistake I kind of confused with test command
for:
test -e /folder/file

does not work on my centos box it needs cwd to the folder

this is working:

exec { myexectest:
    path        => "/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin",
    cwd         => "/home/user/.ssh",
    command =>"echo test > test.txt",

    unless       => "test -e test.txt"

}

the idea was if a file does not exist just execute something I don't if there is a better way of doing that

Check out the "creates" meta parameter.

Yeap that works also

exec { myexectest:
       path        => "/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin",
        cwd         => "/home/user/.ssh",

        creates    => "/home/user/.ssh/test.txt"

        command =>"echo test > test.txt",
}

it needs the absolute path on creates

[Paul Tötterman]

exec { myexectest:
       path        => "/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin",
        cwd         => "/home/user/.ssh",
        creates    => "/home/user/.ssh/test.txt"
        command =>"echo test > test.txt",
}

Do you have provider set in some default Exec -block? If not, then the default is posix, not shell, which probably doesn't handle stream redirection.

Cheers,

Paul
