Hey,
we want to check a condition before executing some commands.
If a line is existing in a list of architectures, the command should not
run - and vice versa.
So we use grep and count the words (wc -l).
The expected behaviour: if the onlyif-command returns 0, execute. If not,
don't.
(according to reference:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#exec-attribute-onlyif
)
Running the onlyif-command separately from puppet exectution, the return
value is as expected.
But the Exec-command is executed every time, despite the actual return
value.
Also, running "echo 0" as well as "echo 1" as onlyif
triggers an execution.
Here is the code snippet used in our manifest
exec { "hammer execution":> command => "hammer architecture create --name x86_64 \
> && hammer environment create --name cloudbox",
> path => "/usr/local/bin/",
> require => [
> File["/var/log/foreman/hammer.log"],
> File["/etc/foreman/cli_config.yml"],
> Package["hammer_cli_foreman"],
> ],
> # onlyif => "hammer architecture list | /bin/grep
'x86_64' |
> /usr/bin/wc -l",
> onlyif => "/bin/echo 1",
> user => ccka,
> environment => ["HOME=/home/ccka"],
> }
Does anyone have an idea what's going wrong?
Regards,
Fredi
