> but when checking the processlist, runInstaller is not thereHmm, why do you send the installer to the background? The whole idea of puppet is that it manages the state of your resources. In your case this is now the resource oracle which should be in the state "installed" (maybe even more, but this is what we are talking now about). But if you send the installer to the background and let puppet terminate the state of your resource can''t be known to puppet. Anyway I tried to run exec{"/usr/bin/yes foo &": } with puppet and the process was still there so this works theoretically. But I don''t see it as a good idea anyway, as backgrounding a process always exits with 0: $ /bin/false & [1] 6966 $ echo $? 0 [1]+ Exit 1 /bin/false as the process was always successfully backgrounded. so you''ll never know with which exitcode the process actually exited and you''ll never know the actual state nor if there have been any problems. I assume that your installer exits later with something different than 0 and even prints out a message, but as puppet isn''t catching anymore any output of this process you don''t even see it. What if you take the & away? cheers pete --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I tried to run it both ways, background and not, still the same issue.

Hi, pinoyskull wrote:> I tried to run it both ways, background and not, still the same issue.You''re assuming the OUI (runInstaller) is actually reporting a problem when it exits. This is not always the case. I would recommend not running runInstaller directly with exec{}. Rather, wrap it into a shell script so that you have more control over exit values. At the very least, pipe the output of the command to something like /tmp/db-install.log just for testing to see what happens when the command runs. Also, look for /tmp/OraInstall* directories. The OUI silent installer should create those while it runs. cYa, Avi --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
