In this case the screen session stays forever and you can connect to it later to see the output. That may or may not be useful to you of course

I "need" to have the output of the script show up, hence the "logoutput => true" directive which I don't see in your example. The script runs just fine, I just don't get any output/status from it when run via puppet.

I'm setting a timeout of 1800 and if the catalog run finishes in 107 seconds, I'm unclear on how it's timing out.
