Puppet users - Sep 2013 - Odd behaviour trying to specify restart command for service on windows

Hi

i''m having a strange issue and was wondering if anyone could help

I have the following resource defined for a windows service:


   service{''Tomcat7'':
        ensure => running,
        restart => ''c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe /c 
c:/Tomcat7/bin/RestartService.bat''
   }

in this case both  ''c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe and 
c:/Tomcat7/bin/RestartService.bat exist

however when running something which notifies this service to restart i 
receive the following:

Notice: 
/Stage[main]/Dep7selfedit/File[c:\tomcat7\webapps\esign.war]/ensure: 
defined content as ''{md5}7b024320ab00c33d189a9fac6217bbea''
Info: /Stage[main]/Dep7selfedit/File[c:\tomcat7\webapps\esign.war]:

Debug: Executing ''c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe /c 
c:/Tomcat7/bin/RestartService.bat''
Error: /Stage[main]/Dep7transcription/Service[Tomcat7]: Failed to call 
refresh:CreateProcess() failed: The system cannot find the file specified.
Error: /Stage[main]/Dep7transcription/Service[Tomcat7]: CreateProcess() 
failed:The system cannot find the file specified.

I am somewhat befuddled as to why this is. Any help would be much 
appreciated

Thanks

Adam

Try this

restart => ''c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe /c
c:\Tomcat7\bin\RestartService.
bat''

cmd.exe may not know how to find items with a path that contains forward
slashes.
