Agreed, this is irritating.  I think to link it to logoutput is a mistake 
though as it will overload the use of the parameter, but having output sent to 
debug will let users investigate problems.

Submitted pull request #362.

Bug #12051: Exec onlyif / unless does not capture output
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12051

Author: Robert Buchholz
Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: exec
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.4
Keywords: exec logging
Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/362


Puppet does not log the output of a check command to an exec, even if logoutput 
is true. There are no other facilities to log the check output either.

Example:
    exec { "/bin/something":
      onlyif => "/bin/check",
      logoutput => true,
    }

Results in    

    debug: /Stage[main]/redacted/Exec[/bin/something]: Executing check 
'/bin/check'                                                                    
                                                                             
    debug: Executing '/bin/check'
    debug: ... next entity

Workaround: I can append " > /path/to/logfile 2>&1" to the check command. But 
that's what I would expect "logoutput" to be there for. The way it is right now 
makes it unnecessarily hard to debug scripts that fail inside puppet but not 
outside (due to environment differences, for example).
