Hello, So I realize one of the main points of puppet is moving way from .sh scripts but I'm at a point where I need to use one until I can get everything figured out. The problem I'm having is that my scripts dont seem to run properly if I have puppet call them. We've got a decently complicated .sh script used to set up oracle database, inlcuding partioning and the like. If I attempt to run it through puppet the script will end after 300 seconds as timed out. To test a simpler case I just made a little script as such: #!/bin/sh echo Something Then if I try to use it with this (as a puppet agent run): exec { "Thing":
provider => shell, command => "sh /testscript.sh", path => "(my path)" } I notice through --debug it says it executes the script but I don't see the actual echo command comming out. I've read about logoutput => true and that will give me the "Somthing" in the puppet information but if I run the big script I still dont see anything. The install script opens with defining a bunch of functions and then heading into a main, so I'm wondering if there is something with puppet and scripts that doesn't want to just run? It seems like it should just let the script run though. I have verified the script works correctly when simply run straight in the shell. Again, as I've moved some other programs and installs to puppet I realize I'm kind of going against the puppet grain on this and eventually plan to do away with sh scripts but for now, due to time constraints and having a lot of this script written before I arrived here, I sort of need to put a temporary fix on this one by running the script we've used for a while. Thanks for the help, and double thanks if this is something out of my range of understanding for scripts and puppet that I'm unaware of. I'm a bit of a newbie to all this and have run through the tutorials and such but I think there's a piece I'm blind to here. :) -Daniel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
