RE: [Puppet Users] exec command

[Bernd Adamowicz]

First, put the whole line in single quotes in order to prevent Puppet from trying to resolve all the dollar signs as variables. Then simply escape all quotes within your string. I didn’t test it, but this should work:

 

line =>  ‘PROMPT_COMMAND=\'history -a >(tee -a ~/.bash_history | logger -t \"USER: $USER[$$] SSH: $SSH_CONNECTION $PWD\")\'’ ,

 

As an alternative you might want to have a look at Puppet’s Augeas.

Subject: [Puppet Users] exec command

 

Hi all, im trying to make a module to add a line at the end of the /etc/profile file to redirect all the loggins to a remote server. It´s something like this:

 

class syslog {

 

define append_if_no_such_line ($file, $line) {

             exec { "Line1" :

             command => "/bin/echo '$line' >> '$file'",

             unless => "/bin/grep -Fx '$line' '$file'",

             alias => "Line1",

             }

}

 

append_if_no_such_line {

         "modify.profile.redhat" :

          file => "/etc/profile",

          line =>  " PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a >(tee -a ~/.bash_history | logger -t "USER: $USER[$$] SSH: $SSH_CONNECTION $PWD")'  ",

         }

 

}

 

The problem is that the line i want to add have a lot of " " and ' ' and puppet cut the line and give me an error of execution. 

Anyone know how to pass this line: PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a >(tee -a ~/.bash_history | logger -t "USER: $USER[$$] SSH: $SSH_CONNECTION $PWD")'  as a single line in puppet? 

Thanks a lot, sorry about my english

Hello Bernd, thanks for the answer, but when i trie to escape the quotes puppet print this error message:

err: /Stage[main]/Logger/Logger::Append_if_no_such_line7[modify.profile.redhat]/Exec[Line7]/returns: change from notrun to 0 failed: /bin/echo 'PROMPT_COMMAND\='history' >> '/etc/profile' returned 1 instead of one of [0] at /etc/puppet/modules/logger/manifests/init.pp:69 

im going to read about augeas.

Javier,

Your English is fine, but your quotes are not. :) I ran a few different tests and found that quoting the line value as follows will result in the line actually being appended to /etc/profile:

  line => 'PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a >(tee -a ~/.bash_history | logger -t \"USER: $USER[$$] SSH: $SSH_CONNECTION $PWD\")" ',

Hi Peter, the problem with is that i need something like this:  line => 'PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a >(tee -a ~/.bash_history | logger -t \"USER: $USER[$$] SSH: $SSH_CONNECTION $PWD\")' ',
'history and not "history and in the end )' not )"   

Any clues how to solve this?

Thanks for the answer!! :)
