Puppet users - Feb 2012 - Exec provider shell with 'for' loop

Hi everyone,

I am trying to exec the following command:

    exec { ''Apply all kernel variables'' :
        path        => ''/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin'',
        user        => ''root'',
        logoutput   => true,
        provider    => shell,
        command     => "for file in ${config_file} ${config_dir}/*.conf
                        do
                            [ -r \"\${file}\" ] && (echo
Applying
\"\${file}\" && /sbin/sysctl -q -p \"\${file}\")
                        done",
        refreshonly => true,
    }
Here is the output:
err: /Stage[main]/Sysctl/Exec[Apply all kernel variables]: Failed to call
refresh: for file in /etc/sysctl.conf /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf

                                 do
                                                        [ -r "${file}"
] &&
(echo Applying "${file}" && /sbin/sysctl -q -p
"${file}")
                                                done returned 1 instead of
one of [0] at /etc/puppet/modules/sysctl/manifests/init.pp:93


Is simply doesn''t work, I know that there are some special behavior
with
the exec ressource. Of course the following exec works:
    exec { ''Apply all kernel variables'' :
        path        => ''/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin'',
        user        => ''root'',
        logoutput   => true,
        provider    => shell,
        command     => ''for file in /etc/sysctl.conf
/etc/sysctl.d/*.conf
                        do
                            [ -r "\${file}" ] && (echo
Applying "\${file}"
&& /sbin/sysctl -q -p "\${file}")
                        done'',
        refreshonly => true,
    }


I have extremely big trouble using " instead of '', any idea?

Regards,
JM

You could try replacing double escaping \\ and see if that works.

Perhaps it''s simpler if you have file { /tmp/script.sh : content =>
"for
...$variable" }
or using a template and create a .erb file that is uploaded.
