>Yup, that's the current issue with that you propose via puppet resource. The other approach is to use the -e (execute) flag on puppet apply like so: http://www.puppetcookbook.com/posts/simple-adhoc-execution-with-apply-execute.html As it sounds like you're automating this anyway that should just be a matter of syntax, rather than the simple key=value pairs that resource uses you can use the full Puppet language. Which also means you could create some basic defined types which provide the defaults and only pass in the variables that change.
