Puppet users - Sep 2009 - Passing input to script within an exec statement fails

Hi,
From the command line I can successfully perform this:-

echo y | /mnt/Linux/install.sh

Trying the same thing from an exec, though, fails and I''m not too sure
how
to get round it

          command => "(echo y | /mnt/Linux/install.sh)",

err: //Node[host]/vm_post_install/Exec[install-xenserver-tools]/returns:
change from notrun to 0 failed: (echo y | /mnt/Linux/install.sh) returned 1
instead of 0 at /etc/puppet/modules/vm_post_install/manifests/init.pp:30

I''ve tried without the brackets as well - same result

Unfortunately, in this case the option does not exist to avoid the script
(as I''m mounting an iso and running the package''s install
script)

Thanks
Paul

You could try to add

path    => "/bin:/usr/bin",

for the echo command.

Allan, superb!  That''s what the problem was which turned out to be
embarrassingly basic. I''d missed the /bin in my path statement
Thanks
