Romain, I am confused. In your first post you said you need to check if a package exists on the "Agent", the Puppet client.
Now below you say you need the check executed on the Master. Facts are executed on the Agents and only ever on Agents. If you want to check for something on a client/agent machine, you use a Fact, like the one you posted below. If you want to execute arbitrary code on the Master (during catalogue compilation) probably the simplest thing you are after is the Generate function: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/function.html#generate On linux, I would use something that looks a bit like this: class woof { $file_exists = generate('/bin/test', '-f', '/softw4pc/Misc/pfoleproxy/pfoleproxy*.txt') if $file_exists { ... } } There are other ways you can execute arbitrary code, like embedded Ruby with the inline_template() function, pure Ruby manifests, or bury the code somehow in a custom type and provider. Does that help? -Luke On Thursday, December 13, 2012 6:46:07 AM UTC, Romain Gales wrote: > > The facter should be executed on the server instead on the client. > > > > > On Thursday, December 13, 2012 1:29:23 AM UTC+1, Jakov Sosic wrote: >> >> On 11/28/2012 09:46 PM, Romain Gales wrote: >> > there is what i tried: >> > >> > # getpfoleproxyver.rb >> > # >> > Facter.add(:getpfoleproxyver) do >> > setcode do >> > Facter::Util::Resolution.exec('basename `ls >> > /softw4pc/Misc/pfoleproxy/pfoleproxy*.txt`') >> > end >> > end >> > >> > the fact is working fine, but how to use this in my manifest? >> > i tried a lot but it was always empty? >> > >> > $getpfoleproxyver should be correct, no? >> >> Are you sure it's working on the client?
