Puppet users - Jan 2011 - Differences between puppet and puppetd

Hi all,

I am using Puppet to execute an Expect script (http://expect.sourceforge.net)
on a client. The Puppet recipe, test.pp, is:

exec { ''/root/test.exp'':
  command => ''/root/test.exp'',
  logoutput => true
}

The recipe runs correctly when run using ''puppet --debug --verbose
test.pp'':
debug: /Stage[main]//Exec[/root/test.exp]: Executing
''/root/test.exp''
debug: Executing ''/root/test.exp''
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[/root/test.exp]/returns: spawn
/etc/ssl/misc/CA.pl -newca
...
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[/root/test.exp]/returns: executed successfully

However, it fails when run using puppetd:
... puppet-agent[3650]: (/Stage[main]/Mail/Exec[/root/test.exp]/returns)
spawn /etc/ssl/misc/CA.pl -newca#015
... puppet-agent[3650]: (/Stage[main]/Mail/Exec[/root/test.exp]/returns)
#015
... puppet-agent[3650]: (/Stage[main]/Mail/Exec[/root/test.exp]/returns)
send: spawn id exp3 not open
... puppet-agent[3650]: (/Stage[main]/Mail/Exec[/root/test.exp]/returns)
while executing
... puppet-agent[3650]: (/Stage[main]/Mail/Exec[/root/test.exp]/returns)
"send "password\r""
... puppet-agent[3650]: (/Stage[main]/Mail/Exec[/root/test.exp]/returns)
(file "/root/test.exp" line 9)#015
... puppet-agent[3650]: (/Stage[main]/Mail/Exec[/root/test.exp]/returns)
change from notrun to 0 failed: /root/test.exp returned 1 instead of one of
[0] at ...

Is there any difference in the way Puppet executes a recipe using
''puppet
--debug --verbose'' compared to using puppetd?

Martin.

One issue will be the path.  You really do need to set a path for exec
with a minimum of ''/bin/'' on it so that puppetd can find
/bin/sh, in my
experience.  When you run puppet rather than puppetd, it''s inheriting
your environment with your path.

It is impolite to tell a man who is carrying you on his shoulders that
his head smells.

Thanks Bruce -- setting both path and cwd fixed the problem.
