[Puppet Users] Exec question: variable expansion to set gconf string
Hi Everybody,
So I''m working on a workstation_policies module that will basically set
a
ton of gconf keys.
I think I have everything figured out except for a clean way to throw a
long legal banner into an exec for gconf.
This should give an idea of what I thought would work per my interpretation
of the exec resource type docs:
(Using single quotes in variable to preserve line breaks, using double
quotes in the exec so that the variable is interpreted, etc)
class workstation_policies() {
$legal_banner =
''=====================================================================

# Turn on and enforce the contents of the GDM legal banner.
exec { ''gconftool-2 --set --type=boolean
/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_enable true'':
cwd => ''/var/lib/puppet'',
path => [''/bin'', ''/usr/bin'',
''/sbin'', ''/usr/sbin''],
unless => ''gconftool-2 --get
/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_enable | grep true'',
user => ''gdm''
}
exec { "gconftool-2 --set --type=string
/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_text "$legal_banner"":
cwd => ''/var/lib/puppet'',
path => [''/usr/bin''],
unless => ''gconftool-2 --get
/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_text | grep AUTHORIZED'',
user => ''gdm''
}
As it is now, I''ll get a catalog compilation error like the one below:
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Syntax error at ''legal_banner''; expected ''}''
at
/etc/puppet/modules/beta/workstation_policies/manifests/init.pp:65 on node
foo

[Puppet Users] Re: Exec question: variable expansion to set gconf string
D''oh!
I figured out how to just get it to cat /etc/issue which wins since
I''ll
only have to manage the banner in one place.
# Turn on and enforce the contents of the GDM legal banner.
exec { ''gconftool-2 --set --type=string
/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_text "$(cat
/etc/issue)"'':
cwd => ''/var/lib/puppet'',
path => [''/bin'', ''/usr/bin'',
''/sbin'', ''/usr/sbin''],
unless => ''gconftool-2 --get
/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_text | grep MYCOMPANY'',
user => ''gdm''
}
exec { ''gconftool-2 --set --type=boolean
/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_enable true'':
cwd => ''/var/lib/puppet'',
path => [''/bin'', ''/usr/bin'',
''/sbin'', ''/usr/sbin''],
unless => ''gconftool-2 --get
/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_enable | grep true'',
user => ''gdm''
}
