Hi Harsha,
I think it is a suggestion [1] #12. Tried again after setting mode. It
didn't work.
Hi Manula,
It worked after slight modification.
$path = '/tmp/dbscripts/mysql'
exec { "creating_base_dirs":
path =>
'/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin',
command => "mkdir -p ${path}",
}
Sure, going forward will participate in puppet mailing lists/forums... :)

Thanks all. :)
