The Puppet agent does not normally run from a login shell, and it anyway
takes care to pass a very sparse environment to commands it spawns.
Moreover, no spawned command can change its parent's environment, nor,
therefore, the environment of any sibling command. Thus, manipulating the
agent's environment is not the answer; instead you must declare the Exec
resource properly.
The best solution is probably Nicolas's (using the 'environment' property
of your Exec resource), but there are other possibilities. For instance,
perhaps the Exec's command could be a wrapper script that sets the needed
environment variables. Better, you could use the 'env' command to launch
the real command with specified extra environment settings. There might be
other options as well.
