Ruby 1.8.7 is supported (we're using patchlevel 72 without any issues in 
production), but you shouldn't use such an old patchlevel. Can you try with a 
more recent patchlevel?

Is your /bin/true really returning 1, because that's what puppet complains 
about. Of course the message you pointed to might be the root cause of the 
issue.

Bug #2446: ruby 1.8.7 error executing exec

We have a test machine (Redhat 5, 2.6.18-8.el5) with ruby 1.8.7 (patchlevel 0) 
in which puppet mostly works.  The only problem that we're having right now is 
that any call to exec{} fails with the error:

debug: //Node[kiki]/testing/sysctl/Exec[/bin/true]: Executing '/bin/true'
debug: Executing '/bin/true'
wrong number of arguments (2 for 1)
err: //Node[kiki]/testing/sysctl/Exec[/bin/true]: Failed to call refresh on 
Exec[/bin/true]: /bin/true returned 1 instead of 0 at 
/etc/puppet/modules/sysctl/manifests/init.pp:15 

The code that caused the error was:
exec { "/bin/true":
       subscribe => File["/etc/sysctl.conf"],
       refreshonly => true
}

This same manifest works fine on ruby 1.8.6 (patchlevel 287) clients.  Is ruby 
1.8.7 supported or should we revert back to 1.8.6?  (or am I just a total idiot 
and doing something completely wrong)

Attached is the full client log output.
