That actually only works if you have one server. If you have more than one you risk raising a positive when a different box doesn't have what you are which'ing.
'which' will set an exit code > 0 if the executable is not found. Cap will abort on a failed command so all you need is run "which puppet" Better: Test and see if it can respond with a more significant request. run "puppet agent --fingerprint" Block deploys: before :deploy do run "puppet agent --fingerprint" end YMMV as I don't use puppet.
