I'm sorry to not actually be of much help regarding your original
question... The thing is that puppet is usually used the other way
around, hence this way I use to pre-configure RHEL servers for our
bash-using Oracle DBAs :
# Oracle profile sourced file
file { '/etc/profile.d/oracle.sh':
mode => '0755',
content => template('/path/to/oracle.sh.erb'),
}
And the template contains the following :
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/<%= version %>/<%=
title %><%= oracle_home_suffix %>
export ORACLE_SID=<%= oracle_sid %>
export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
if [ `/usr/bin/id -un` == "oracle" ]; then
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
fi
