Hi,
If I run the following command manually (time /usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks -v --serverUrl=http://spacewalk.example.com/XMLRPC --activationkey=1-aab07306b6f673c367ebecae2aa55f22 --force --nohardware --nopackages --novirtinfo --norhnsd -v), the runtime is 15 seconds. However, if the command is performed via the exe resource the runtime is ~48 seconds. Why is the runtime via the exe resource longer? Is it possible shorten the runtime? class spacewalk::config inherits spacewalk { file { '/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf': ensure => present, source => 'puppet:///modules/spacewalk/rhnplugin.conf', owner => root, group => root, mode => '0644', before => Exec['register-client'], } exec { 'register-client': command => "/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks -v --serverUrl=http://${::spacewalk::spacewalk_server_fqdn}/XMLRPC --activationkey=${::spacewalk::activation_key} --force --nohardware --nopackages --novirtinfo --norhnsd -v", require => Class['spacewalk::install'], unless => '/usr/sbin/spacewalk-channel -l', } } Info: /Stage[main]/Spacewalk/Spacewalk::Config/Exec[register-client]: Starting to evaluate the resource Debug: Exec[register-client](provider=posix): Executing check '/usr/sbin/spacewalk-channel -l' Debug: Executing '/usr/sbin/spacewalk-channel -l' Debug: /Stage[main]/Spacewalk/Spacewalk::Config/Exec[register-client]/unless: Unable to locate SystemId file.
