Hi Tim and thanks for the replies. The code snippet for the facter will probably turn out to be very welcome.

I thought also before that this could do the trick, but as indicated on the web (http://docs.reductivelabs.com/references/stable/ function.html#generate) the generate executes a command on the puppet MASTER-server (not on the client), so this does not work as such - unless the command to run on the puppet master server is actually a remote SSH command to the respective puppet client. We'll perhaps I'm thinking too much in procedural way as writing a shell or a shell script. Probably once I get to know the tool more in practice I realize I can live without the above.
