Ok, my english is not so good, I miss undesrstood the documentation : "creates A file that this command creates."
I thought it was puppet which creates the file and not my command. Thanks for your help.

The creates attribute is a conditional for the exec run. >From http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#exec : creates A file to look for before running the command. The command will only run if the file doesn't exist. So it's actually looking for that file, and running the command you specified only if it can't find it. It's assumed that your command will create that file and the exec won't run more than once. Hope it's clearer now, regards!
