I'm trying to use bash to create custom facts that are booleans,
Unfortunately, when I do, the values are interpreted as strings, and not
booleans. For example, here is my bash script, gdm.sh:
#!/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
rpm --quiet -q gdm
retval=$?
if [ $retval -eq 0 ]; then
echo gdm_installed=true
else
echo gdm_installed=false
fi
When I run the script, I get output in the following format, depending
on whether or not the gdm package is installed on the node:
gdm_installed=true
gdm_installed=false
From everything I've read online, that should be sufficient, but when I
run 'puppet facts, I see that the values for gdm_installed are strings
and not booleans. For example:
# puppet facts | grep false
"fips_enabled": false,
"gdm_installed": "false",
"clientnoop": false
What am I doing wrong here? Is there something special about bash that
prevents it from being used like this?
