You can do everything you need entirely in ruby. For example, here's a
custom fact that returns the number of screens reported by the X server.
Facter.add(:screen_count) do
confine :kernel => 'Linux'
setcode do
@screens = Facter::Core::Execution.exec("/usr/bin/xrandr -display
:0
Thanks Rob. I will try both approaches; for me there is more appeal in
simply using a shell script.
Peter, can I generate multiple key=value pairs inside the same shell
script? I don't explicitly have to do it the way you presented with
key="key_name"
value="evaluated_expression"
echo "${key}=

should interpolate to `awk '{pri
Hi Warron,
I'd consider using an external, executable fact to avoid ruby altogether.

Basically, you can write a bash script (or use any language you want),
drop it into '//facts.d/' on your puppet server,
and it wil
Hello, I have finally learned how to write a Custom Fact; and duplicated
the syntax several times over inside the same .rb file.
I am using syntax that looks like the following:
Facter.add('qty_monitors_total') do
setcode do
Facter::Util::Resolution.exec('/bin/grep " connected
In my googling I did not find a simple recipe for how to install and run
puppet for the first time (for a pxe / tftpboot / ubuntu / preseed /
puppetlabs-repo scenario).
Here's what I tagged onto the bottom on my preseed.cfg script:
