Bug #11364: Documentation not explicit enough regarding UID/GID of exec
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11364

Author: John Florian
Status: Unreviewed

Branch: 


When reading the docs for the "exec" resource type, it is not clear what 
UID/GID will be used when executing "onlyif" and "unless".  In my testing, it 
appears that these commands will run unaffected by the "user" and "group" 
parameters and if that is indeed the case, I'd argue that to be a bug.  If the 
commands reference things like $HOME or ~, they are likely referencing the 
wrong such ones rather than those specified by the "user" and "group" 
parameters.  In any case, the docs could be more clear regarding this behavior.
