Issue #2193 has been updated by Markus Roberts.
At the very least the description on the ticket is no longer accurate; we require an array (not a string) in lib/puppet/util.rb's execute. I suspect that this was the case at the time the patch was written as well. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2193: Exec's "command" parameter should accept lists in addition to strings http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2193 Author: Deepak Giridharagopal Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assigned to: Markus Roberts Category: exec Target version: Statler Affected version: 0.25.0 Keywords: Branch: Currently, "exec" executes its "command" by passing a string to Kernel#exec, which subjects the command to shell-expansion. There are many use cases where the user knows the exact command they wish to execute, and does not want the shell involved at all in the execution (say, for example, you're trying to pass an argument to a command that has weird characters in it that the shell would normally expand out). Exec's "command" param should accept a list as input, where the list follows the format accepted by Kernel#exec ("If multiple arguments are given, the second and subsequent arguments are passed as parameters to command with no shell expansion."). I've attached a patch against 0.25 HEAD (minimally tested)...hopefully that can be a starting point for development. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
