Issue #8302 has been updated by Nick Fagerlund. Status changed from Accepted to In Topic Branch Pending Merge
Pull request at <https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/26>. (And I changed the release notes, while I was at it.) Moving this ticket to the Puppet project so it'll get swept up at release time. ---------------------------------------- Bug #8302: Improve documentation of shell provider for exec type https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8302 Author: Nick Fagerlund Status: In Topic Branch Pending Merge Priority: Normal Assignee: Nick Fagerlund Category: Target version: Keywords: Branch: Affected URL: The reason we added "shell" as a new provider instead of changing the default behavior of exec was because handing a string to a shell introduces additional security concerns. This should be outlined in the desc string for the provider. Post-facto edits to the 2.6.8 release notes may also be called for.
