Puppet users - Nov 2012 - puppet agent cache files used in exec?

Hi all,

my problem is described below

puppet agent do Exec :

exec {"create-${user}-${host}-${database}-user-mycnf":
          creates => $outfile,
          cwd => "/tmp",
          command => "${outscript}",
          provider => shell
}

of shell script $outscipt :
#!/bin/bash
mysql -e "grant all on mydb.* to
''myuser''@''%'' identified by
''$pw'';"
touch $outfile

mysql uses password in /root/.my.cnf

it was failing for a long time.
Today I restarted agent (actually upgraded to 2.7.20)
after restart of agent Exec was run sucessfully

my.cnf was changed a long time ago ($outfile was removed in that time
also). I suppose Exec started to fail after changing mysql password.

Could puppet cache /root/.my.cnf and reread it only after reboot.
I see no other explanation. Is it bug?

thanks in advance

No, puppet does nothing like that. It''s strange that it works *now* but
I would say the problem is definitely somewhere else.
