Just a heads up to everybody: There is a pretty severe regression in the
exec provider together with cwd, as the behavior of the type/provider
changed from 6.0.0 to 6.0.1:

https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-9194

tldr; The cwd param is not respected in 6.0.1 for the commands specified
in unless or onlyif. This might trigger an unwanted execution of the
command, as the safe-guards in unless/onlyif might fail as they are not
anymore executed in the cwd.

Thanks for reporting this duritong - I wanted to follow up to say that this was fixed in 6.0.2 (indeed this was the reason we shipped 6.0.2 after 1 day:) )
