facter (NAME OF FACT) - i.e. facter curtime I also neglected to mention that there really is no reason whatsoever to resort to shell just to do date things because ruby has a very rich 'Date' class built-in. irb(main):001:0> require 'date' => true irb(main):002:0> d = Date.today => #<Date: 4911483/2,0,2299161> irb(main):003:0> y = d.wday => 3 irb(main):001:0> require 'date' => true irb(main):002:0> d = Date.today => #<Date: 4911483/2,0,2299161> irb(main):003:0> y = d + 3 => #<Date: 4911489/2,0,2299161> irb(main):004:0> z = y.strftime("%m-%d-%Y") => "07-02-2011" Craig -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
