Issue #13902 has been updated by Stefan Schulte.
Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs More Information
Assignee set to Eslam El Husseiny
Well you have not posted very much of your manifest and the snippet you
provided does work as expected
<pre>
# cat /tmp/apply
if defined( Exec['run the shell server'] ){
notify { 'test':
message => 'It is indeed defined',
}
}
# puppet apply /tmp/apply.pp
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.08 seconds
</pre>
So I guess there might be something wrong above your `if` statement?
Also be aware that this might not work as expected because the defined function
is order dependent and if the parser sees your call to `defined` before it sees
your `exec` resource the function will always evaluate to `false`. Make sure to
read [http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/function.html#defined]
before using `defined`.
