Issue #11364 has been reported by John Florian. ---------------------------------------- Bug #11364: Documentation not explicit enough regarding UID/GID of exec https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11364
Author: John Florian Status: Unreviewed Priority: Low Assignee: Category: documentation Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: 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. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
