Thanks for the reply! We are a Solaris shop. As far as I know, there is no Solaris package for Adobe Reader.
You have to run an installer. In order to run the installer, you need to unzip/untar the archive. I was thinking of creating a little script (ar-8.1.3-1.install.sh) to do that and also figure out which version of reader is installed. -bash-3.00$ /opt/Adobe/Reader8/bin/acroread -v 8.1.2 So far, this is what I came up with on the puppet side of things: # Omited class and case statements. # create staging directory file { "/sysprov/apps/adobe": owner => puppet, group => puppet, ensure => directory } # copy files the staging area file { "/sysprov/apps/adobe/AdobeReader_enu-8.1.3-1.sparc.tar.gz": owner => puppet, group => puppet, source => "puppet://puppet/apps/adobe/ AdobeReader_enu-8.1.3-1.sparc.tar.gz", } file { "/sysprov/apps/adobe/bar-ar-8.1.3-1.install.sh": owner => puppet, group => puppet, source => "puppet://puppet/apps/adobe/adobe/ar-8.1.3-1.install.sh", } # Run the installer exec { "ar-8.1.3-1.install.sh": command => "/sysprov/apps/adobe/ar-8.1.3-1.install.sh", require => File[ "/sysprov/apps/adobe/ AdobeReader_enu-8.1.3-1.sparc.tar.gz" ] require => File[ "/sysprov/apps/adobe/ar-8.1.3-1.install.sh" ] refreshonly => true, } I get the feeling that I don't have to create ar-8.1.3-1.install.sh script and that the whole thing can be done in puppet or facteur.
