Puppet users - Nov 2011 - Execute command on another agent

Hello,

I have this setup but don''t know how to implement it in puppet. There
are 3
servers: puppetmaster, agent1, agent2

In order to setup agent1, I need to run a command on agent2 and return the 
data.

I know "file" can generate() function to run a command. However, it
runs on
the puppetmaster but I need it to run on agent2 instead. Is it possible 
with puppet? How? Thanks

file { "/tmp/setup_data":
            content => generate(
                "/bin/sh",
                "/tmp/script_on_puppetmaster.sh",
                $myvar,
            )
        }

is this a lot of content or just a single line?
A generic approach would be to enable stored configs and have agent2
create the file resource by whatever means required (probably a custom
fact to get the data to the puppetmaster), export it and have agent1
import the file.

Pseudocode:

node ''agent2'' {
  $data = $::my_custom_fact
  @@file { "/tmp/setup_data": content => $data }
}

node ''agent2'' {
  File<<| title == "/tmp/setup_data" "|>>
}

HTH,
