Ah. You want just the node *names* to come from an external file, not
entire node definitions. Sorry, that's not gonna happen.
You have several options. The most similar to what you asked is to in fact
provide a whole node definition (only one is needed) for these exceptional
hosts:
import 'run_script.pp'
node
'node1.my.com',
'node2.my.com',
...
'node42.my.com' {
include run_script
}
Then 'import' that into site.pp. You will recognize that that has the form
of a list of node names, bracketed by a small amount of decoration, so it's
not too different from what you asked.
As I already said, you can also use an ENC instead of a flat file to feed
the information to Puppet, including (but not restricted to) pressing hiera
into service in that effort. For example, to fall back to hiera for
otherwise-unmatched nodes, add something like this to site.pp:
node default {
$classes = hiera('classes')
# $classes could contain 'run_script' where appropriate
include $classes
}
