Puppet users - Sep 2008 - exec: err: both unqualifed and specified no search path

Hi all

I have the following definition:

define download_file(
        $site="",
        $cwd="",
        $user="") {

    exec { $name:
        command => "wget ${site}/${name}",
        cwd     => "${cwd}",
        creates => "${cwd}/${name}",
        user    => "${user}",
    }
}

By calling it with the following:
download_file {"ossec-hids-latest.tar.gz":
    site        => "http://www.ossec.net/files",
    cwd         => "/home/user/tmp/",
    user        => "user",
}

I get the following error message:
err: both unqualifed and specified no search path in file /etc/puppet/
manifests/test_download.pp at line 14

Does anybody know how to resolve that?

Thanks for any help.
Best regards,
Mike

You need to either say ''/path/to/wget'' or give a search path
to exec
like ''path => ["/bin", "/sbin",
"/usr/bin", "/usr/sbin"]''.

Generally speaking I advocate setting a default search path at the top
of your site.pp:

Exec {
    path => ["/bin", "/sbin", "/usr/bin",
"/usr/sbin"],
}

And you won''t have to worry about it thereafter.
