Sorry I replied hastily. After replying I thought about what you're
trying to do. You don't need all those gyrations to get this data
Tested quickly on RHEL6 and CentOS5:
`sudo yum check-update -q`.split(/\n/).reject{|i| i == }.length

[Puppet Users] Problem with Custom Facter
I am trying to write a custom facter for CentOS/RHEL that tells me how many
updates are found on a run of 'yum check-update'
Facter.add(:cis_yum_check) do
timeout = 300
setcode do
File.open(/tmp/yum_check-update, 'w') { |f| f.write(`/usr/bin/yum
check-update`) }
back_arr = []
f = `cat /tmp/yum_check-update`
f.lines.reverse_each { |line| back_arr line }
#{back_arr.index(\n)} updates
end
end
The output I get back in my fact reports only contains a string with
updates in it, so no number. However, if I paste the code inside the
setcode block into a test.rb scriptit works just fine.
Can anyone tell me why I'm not getting the number in my fact?
Thanks,
Matt

AFACT #lines wasn't added until 1.8.7 and if you are deploying to EL5 you don't have that. -- Nathan Powell Linux System Administrator Where else would you rather be than right here, right now? ~ Marv Levy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.
