Thank you for your answer Dave.
This is the intended purpose of having the puppet agent move those
folders every time it is called.
Would it be an easier (more proper) way of doing it?
Without knowing your actual requirements, a possible solution might
involve adding a scheduler task that will move the directories every 30
minutes. This would be much more explicit than "whenever puppet is
running", which might be much more often (when
developing/testing/deploying) or much longer (when there's a problem on
the puppet master for example).
Best Regards, David (not Dave).
Thanks,
Mike

You are passing an array (dir_name) into a single resource. Instead you
want to create three separate resources:
module_name::move { [ dir1, dir2, dir3 ]: ... }
Also, I feel compelled to point out that having verbs or actions as
names
of resources is a big red warning flag, that you're doing something
outside
the intended design of puppet. e.g. are you aware that your define
will try
to move the directories every time you run the agent with this?
