Hi Everybody, I been looking through google for better part of the day but I
haven''t been able to find an answer to my problem.
I need an environmental variable to be present in puppet, so that yum works
correctly. However after reboot puppet doesn''t read /etc/profile and
starts
without this profile.
If I go into server and do services puppet restart than everything works
fine, since I am running this from an interactive login.
This also doesn''t work with the trick of doing FACTER_Variable= because
again /etc/profile isn''t being parsed so..
I tried to use "environment" in the exec class but it appears that I
can''t
use script to set this variable.. i.e.
environment=`cat /etc/redhat-release | awk ''{print $7}''`
because puppet takes above literally and doesn''t convert it.
I suppose I could do something in the /etc/init.d/puppet, but the problem I
have with that is that when I upgrade puppet this will get over written so I
rather not, but if that''s the only way to do it....
Thanks!
Marek

Simply return ENV[''PATH''] or whatever environment variable you want in the custom function block. # <modulepath>/customfunctions/lib/puppet/parser/functions/getenv.rb module Puppet::Parser::Functions newfunction(:getenv, :type => :rvalue ) do |args| ENV[args[0]] end end # Example $rubylib = getenv("RUBYLIB") If you need to read the value of an environment variable on the agent, then a custom fact could do this easily. # <modulepath>/customfacts/lib/facter/env_path.rb require ''facter'' Facter.add(''env_path'') do setcode do ENV[''PATH''] end end Hope this helps, -- Jeff McCune http://www.puppetlabs.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

What environment variable are you setting? What''s the 7th field in /etc/redhat-release you''re trying to get? Why is yum not working correctly without this information? -- Jeff McCune http://www.puppetlabs.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
