I''m trying to call puppet from a bash script and whilst it works, it
causes my script to end prematurely.
#!/bin/bash
...
function runPuppetLocally()
{
echo "...running Puppet locally"
exec puppet agent --test
echo "Puppet complete"
}
runPuppetLocally
I presume Puppet is issuing an exit or something similar which causes
my script to end. Is there a means by which I can call it without it
terminating my script (I don''t see the "Puppet complete"
message)?

"exec" directs bash to use exec(3) to replace itself with a new process image. That''s probably why your script appears to end. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

That''s probably why your script appears to end.Just drop the exec and call /usr/bin/puppet <args> directly. -Brian> > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > puppet-users+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > >-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
