Bug #12774: Confusing logging when onlyif prevents an exec from running

Given the code in:
<pre>
exec{"/bin/true": }
exec{"/usr/bin/cowthink meh":
logoutput => true,
onlyif => "/bin/true",
subscribe => Exec["/bin/true"],
refreshonly => true
}
</pre>
I get the output
<pre>
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[/bin/true]/returns: executed successfully
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[/usr/bin/cowthink meh]/returns: _____
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[/usr/bin/cowthink meh]/returns: ( meh )
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[/usr/bin/cowthink meh]/returns: -----
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[/usr/bin/cowthink meh]/returns: o ^__^
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[/usr/bin/cowthink meh]/returns: o
(oo)\_______
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[/usr/bin/cowthink meh]/returns: (__)\
)\/\
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[/usr/bin/cowthink meh]/returns:
||----w |
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[/usr/bin/cowthink meh]/returns: ||
||
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[/usr/bin/cowthink meh]: Triggered 'refresh' from 1
events
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.21 seconds
</pre>
which is all fine,
if I change the onlyif to:
<pre>
onlyif => "/bin/false",
</pre>
This prevents the exec from actually running but the logging I would get is:
<pre>
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[/bin/true]/returns: executed successfully
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[/usr/bin/cowthink meh]: Triggered 'refresh' from 1
events
</pre>
The "Triggered 'refresh' from 1 events' suggests that the exec is being run,
when actually its being skipped due to the onlyif condition.
If I removed the logoutput from the first bit of code here the output from both
runs would be identical:
With onlyif => "/bin/true" and no logoutput:
<pre>
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[/bin/true]/returns: executed successfully
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[/usr/bin/cowthink meh]: Triggered 'refresh' from 1
events
</pre>
With onlyif => "/bin/false" and no logoutput:
<pre>
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[/bin/true]/returns: executed successfully
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[/usr/bin/cowthink meh]: Triggered 'refresh' from 1
events
</pre>
They're identical and don't actually tell the user what is happening
