Instead of doing these kinds of work-arounds I'd just use the cwd
parameter of the exec resource as described in the type reference [1]
so e.g.
exec { 'make_sendmail':
command => '/usr/bin/make',
cwd => '/etc/mail'
}
If you have GNU make you can also ask the make command itself to change
the directory (-C dir, --directory=dir)

Because it is a builtin command in the shell. Either let a shell execute your command or use the pwd (or cwd?) parameter. Best regards Hendrik Jäger signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Specifically, when I have "cd" in command => ".." it says it cannot find the command "cd".
