Shell allows me to escape back-tick:

$ echo "/var/log/syslog -C 8 -a 'kill -HUP \`cat /var/run/syslog.pid\`'"
/var/log/syslog -C 8 -a 'kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog.pid`'

puppet does like them:

$string="/var/log/syslog -C 8 -a 'kill -HUP \`cat /var/run/syslog.pid\`'"

exec{'echo string':
  command   => "echo \" ${string} \" ",
  logoutput => true,
  path      => '/bin:/usr/bin',
}

And as I said earlier, no, I can't use file_line

Thanks,
