similar to: How to escape exec command parameters?

Hello, I'm using Ruby's Shellwords module, which generates a string from an array, suitable for shell evaluation. Ruby's implementation prefers escaping whitespace with a backslash rather than quotes. However, this appears to cause some kind of issue in Rsync when it computes argv from -e option. Here is an example command generated by some Ruby code: rsync --archive --stats -e

> assuming that a shell is being used is invalid I never made this assumption. I looked directly at the source code and I stated that "I feel that this function should also handle backslash escapes." I think the assumption that splitting the command works the same way as (all?) major shells, is not inappropriate given the circumstances, and it seems like you agree. > but

I have the following exec in my manifest : exec { some_exec: path => [ "/bin","/usr/bin","/usr/local/bin" ], command => "EXECUTE COMMAND 1", onlyif => "EXECUTE COMMAND 2", logoutput => "on_failure" } I want that the "COMMAND 1" should be executed by "USER 1" and "COMMAND 2"

Hi, In order to do some inventory and network management of our Windows machines, we'd really like to be able to extract some bookkeeping info from them - mostly from the registry. Anybody know how this is possible from Linux? (Most of) the information we seek is present in the registry of the remote windows machine, e.g. installed programs/hotfixes. But the Event Log, Info about

Hi, I''m in the process of evaluating puppet and cfengine for a rollout on a mix of in-house servers and managed customer servers. I''ve always been a pro-cfengine man, and it''s already running on a small setup of 5 machines. But even though I have pretty clear idea of how I should proceed building the system, I''m intimidated by the vast amount of

I''m using puppet 0.25.1. I''ve got a simple resource: exec { "/bin/ls $oracle_base/dba/bin/database_backup.ksh": logoutput => on_failure, } and I don''t want it to log every time it''s successfully run: $ sudo tail -F /var/log/messages | grep puppetd Feb 17 16:36:11 test puppetd[26614]: (//my_module/Exec[/bin/ls /u01/

Hi, Is it correct that it''s not possible to excecute Windows Commands directly with the puppet run? For example: exec { ''ExecCreatedFolder'': command => "mkdir C:\PuppetOrdner\ExecCreatedFolder", } I allways have to bind it with a .bat file right? file { ''c:/PuppetFolder/puppettest.bat'': ensure => file,

so here I am trying to track down why one of my execs isn''t working properly and I notice in the wiki[1]the option on_failure for logoutput. Turns out it does''t work (in 0.23.0) err: Parameter logoutput failed: Invalid ''logoutput'' value "on_failure". Valid values are true, false, debug, info, notice, warning, err, alert, emerg, crit. err: Could not

This was a fun one to track down... I was trying to use the append_if_no_such_line script from the wiki and it was working fine EXCEPT when I threw a notify at it. The notify appears to completely ignore both unless and onlyif within the exec for some reason. If I put the same test in the actual command line, it works fine. Example: unless => "/bin/grep -Fqe ''$line''

If you paste into your command line: rsync -e ssh\ -l\ backup\ -i\ /etc/synco/id_rsa\ -o\ ConnectTimeout\\\=60\ -o\ BatchMode\\\=yes The list of arguments would be (i.e. the values in ARGV): ['rsync', '-e', 'ssh -l backup -i

Hoping you guys might be able to help me out, I''m not sure what''s wrong but puppet agent hangs for over a minute, no resource spikes (CPU, memory, etc all stay basically the same as without starting puppet, barely a blip, and I''ve got more than enough headroom). It''s not a serious issue for continuous usage, but really, really annoying when testing the manifests

Hi, Is it possible to get response of a command from puppet ?

Hi all, I am using Puppet to execute an Expect script (http://expect.sourceforge.net) on a client.

Maybe I''ve missed the obvious way of doing this, but is there an easy way to do something only when a package is installed but not updated? I''ve tried a few ideas but they all seem to be heading down the wrong path (tm).

Hi! I'm trying to convert some Xen guests running Centos 5.8 to KVM on Centos 6.3. Hopefully this is the right place to ask this question, if not, let me know and I'll go there instead! :) My setup: Centos 5.8 Host running Xen with a Centos 5.8 guest, and I want to transfer this guest to a different Centos 6.3 host running KVM. I am able to tweak the target server all I want, but the
