OK, so now that I understand where the functions run, I'll write a type / provider.
The reason I need to get something custom run on the client is to learn how puppet works at that level. Then once I'm happy with the level of knowledge I will get with customizing puppet, I'll be able to figure out what to use, and / or what I'll need to write. With regards to augeas, I think it's horrible and would never use that. The syntax alone is cringe worthy to me. On the type that you sent me via the link, where does it actually write IO to the file to insert / append the line?? Is there some additional function that the type uses? I'm still reading up on types right now.
