Jira (PUP-10579) Request: Add "source" and "content" attributes to the exec resource

[Jerald Sheets (Jira)]

Title: Message Title

Jerald Sheets commented on PUP-10579   Re: Request: Add "source" and "content" attributes to the exec resource I think this would be a good thing, but perhaps baking in the same behavior as other resources, where the "command" attribute would support remote items.  So when I would normally use a file resource to place a file in /some/random/path, then execute it with "exec", perhaps baking it into the idiom like so:   exec { 'thing':   path          => '/foo:/bar:/baz',   command => 'puppet:///modules/foo/do_the_thing.sh', }   might be a better route to that end?  Puppet could use vardir or rundir, for example to place the script long enough for execution.  Obviously, this could find itself to be onerous without disciplined use of conditionals like "onlyif" or "unless".
