Hi Craig,
Thanks for your reply. I understand your concern about using ruby code
instead of shell but my question how can i deploy this custom fact.
The code has no error if i copy this fact into
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/facter and then run
facter curtime it returns the output.
The only thing is how can deploy this fact to all the clients?
