How to make send in a "q" when a screen shows up from exec?

[Benjamin Lei]

So I'm trying to exec something, but during the exec a screen will show up that I need to "q" out of to finish it. Specifically speaking, I'm trying to exec: rvm --force install 1.8.7

How do I do this with Puppet?

Ideally, there would be a command-line option to suppress the screen or provide the needed answer automatically.  Most command-line based installers have such a thing in order to make them scriptable.  If rvm doesn't provide that option then you might be able to pipe in the needed input: 'echo q | rvm --force install 1.8.7'.  In that case make sure the Exec uses the 'sh' provider.

I see; thanks. I'll try that later.

The next thing I'm trying to do is:

rvm use 1.8.7 --default

The command executes successfully, but when I SSH back into my server the version is still its old one. What might be going wrong?

No that did not work. It worked when I ran it myself, but when puppet ran it the previous Ruby version I had was not replaced.
