How do I run a shell script from puppet?

[Tibor Malomsoki]

apt-get update is work->

exec { "apt-update":
    command => "/usr/bin/apt-get update"
}

Exec["apt-update"] -> Package <| |>

But now I want to run a complicated script (/etc/puppet/script/works.sh)

what do I write the site.pp that I run the script in the client

[David Schmitt]

First, put the script into a module's "files" subdirectory, so it is
accessible via the puppet file server. Alternatively create a custom
mount point in fileserver.conf (see
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/file_serving.html for details).

Then use this:

> file { "/var/lib/puppet/script.sh":
> source => "puppet:///modules/test/script.sh", # assuming you put it in the 'test' module
> mode => 0755,
> } ->
> exec { "/var/lib/puppet/script.sh": }


Have fun, David

I creat the subdirectory etc.
But I get this massage -> client:

can't open /proc/interrupts at /usr/bin/lsdev line 15.
info: Caching catalog for server.domain.com
info: Applying configuration version '1401794715'

This says that the script.sh could not be found or accessed on the server.

OS Ubuntu

The (test) script itself run.
The script content:
#!/bin/sh
mkdir /home/works01

I found this site.pp conf->
It is work the puppet agent ---test but the get-data.sh will not run.

 define get-data() {

        file { "/usr/bin/data":

           owner => "root",

           group => "wheel",

           mode => "755",

           purge   => true,

           recurse => true,

           source => "puppet://puppet/data/bin/";

    }

    file { "/usr/bin/data/get-data.sh":

           owner => "root",

           group => "wheel",

           mode => "755",

           source => "puppet://puppet/data/bin/get-data.sh";

    }

        exec { "/usr/bin/data/get-data.sh restart":

                   subscribe => File["/usr/bin/data/get-data.sh"],

                   refreshonly => true;

        }

}

Hi Tibor,

issues in your puppet deployment.
