Puppet users - Nov 2007 - I''m lost on exec

Hi
Can anyone tell me what''s wrong with this one.
Sorry I''m new and I just want to print some message to the the puppet 
log on the client side.

---------------------------------------------------
$testvar = "Hello world!"

class mytest {
   exec { "/bin/echo $testvar" }
}

I keep getting:

err: Could not parse; using old configuration: Syntax error at
''}'';
expected ''}'' at /etc/puppet/manifests/psi_gfa/psi_gfa_all.pp:7

You need a trailing colon:

class mytest {
    exec { "/bin/echo $testvar": }
}                                              ^^^

Juri is correct.
Think of every object inside puppet as having a ''key''

objecttype { objectkey:
    optionalkey => value,
}

so if you leave out the attributes you still have to signify the key.
