Hi
I want to use exec to create a recursive directory (I know I can use file
but for another reason I don't want to)
So as a variable I get passed in $home and it may be for example
/first/second/userdirectory where first and second may not exist.
Puppet's user wraps useradd so it won't recursively create my directory so
I want to use exec to create the directory /first/second before the user is
created.
If I allow puppet to recursively create /first/second/userdirectory in it's
entirety with file.....when the user is created it doesn't contain the
.bashrc and .profile files which I want.
So I wanted to do a simple exec command which does the following if I were
to do it at the command line:
mkdir -p ${home%/*}
...this would make /first/second and I can allow useradd create the
userdirectory.
BUT....puppet doesn't like me passing that to command.
exec { "$home.create":
path => '/bin:/usr/bin',
command => "mkdir -p '${home%/*}'",
}
I get Could not match %/*}\"
Is this possible and if so what is the correct syntax? I've tried lots of
options.
Thanks in advance
Julia
