Puppet users - Nov 2013 - Check the output of a exec

Hi all,

i''m making a manifest for an agent on windows.
I have to make some actions ONLY if a file already exists.
I tried in this way, but it seems dowsn''t work..

class sql2008{

  package { sql2008:
ensure => present,
  }

  exec {''check_dotnet'':
        command => ''IF EXIST 
c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\mscorlib.dll (echo 1) ELSE 
(echo 0)'',
        returns => $check_dotnet_exist
        
  }

  notice("  __ $check_dotnet_exist __ ")

}

When i call the agent, the notice message is "__ __"
How can i save the output of the exec in a variable?

Ty all,
Giovanni

You can''t.  You can, however, create a custom fact that will contain
the
output generated by your command.   The fact will be evaluated before each 
Puppet run, so it will be available to all your classes.  See 
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_facts.html.
