Hi Dan .
thank you for your help and pointers .
i need your advice pls .
lets say i have /tmp/yanivf.txt
inside i have a line testing
when i run
require 'facter'
Facter.add("yaniv") do
setcode do 'cat /tmp/yanivf.txt'
end
end
and than i run facter i get nothing
when i run
export FACTER_yanivval=`cat /tmp/yanivf.txt`; facter
all works fine .
