First, put the whole line in single quotes in order to prevent Puppet from trying to resolve all the dollar signs as variables. Then simply escape all quotes within your string. I didn't test it, but this should work:
line => 'PROMPT_COMMAND=\'history -a >(tee -a ~/.bash_history | logger -t \"USER: $USER[$$] SSH: $SSH_CONNECTION $PWD\")\'' , As an alternative you might want to have a look at Puppet's Augeas. Bernd From: puppet-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:puppet-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Javier Arduini Sent: Dienstag, 11. Dezember 2012 13:16 To: puppet-users@googlegroups.com Subject: [Puppet Users] exec command Hi all, im trying to make a module to add a line at the end of the /etc/profile file to redirect all the loggins to a remote server. It´s something like this: class syslog { define append_if_no_such_line ($file, $line) { exec { "Line1" : command => "/bin/echo '$line' >> '$file'", unless => "/bin/grep -Fx '$line' '$file'", alias => "Line1", } } append_if_no_such_line { "modify.profile.redhat" : file => "/etc/profile", line => " PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a >(tee -a ~/.bash_history | logger -t "USER: $USER[$$] SSH: $SSH_CONNECTION $PWD")' ", } } The problem is that the line i want to add have a lot of " " and ' ' and puppet cut the line and give me an error of execution. Anyone know how to pass this line: PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a >(tee -a ~/.bash_history | logger -t "USER: $USER[$$] SSH: $SSH_CONNECTION $PWD")' as a single line in puppet?
