Method: Puppet::Provider.execute

Defined in:

lib/puppet/provider.rb

.execute(*args) ⇒ Puppet::Util::Execution::ProcessOutput

Note:

Unfortunately, the default behavior for failonfail and combine (since 0.22.4 and 0.24.7, respectively) depend on whether options are specified or not. If specified, then failonfail and combine default to false (even when the options specified are neither failonfail nor combine). If no options are specified, then failonfail and combine default to true.

Executes the desired command, and return the status and output. def execute(command, options)

Parameters:

• command (Array<String>, String) —

  the command to execute. If it is an Array the first element should be the executable and the rest of the elements should be the individual arguments to that executable.

• options (Hash) —

  a Hash of options

Returns:

• (Puppet::Util::Execution::ProcessOutput) —

  output as specified by options

Raises:

• (Puppet::ExecutionFailure) —

  if the executed chiled process did not exit with status == 0 and failonfail is true.
