Issue #653 has been updated by Bruno Harbulot. Status changed from Closed to Re-opened
Besides `slapadd` in the initial example, this would be useful for commands like `mysql` or `psql` to run SQL commands (e.g. setting up tables) based on a module file or template, without having to copy those commands into a temporary file (and having to clean up this temporary file afterwards). ---------------------------------------- Feature #653: Add a stdin param to exec, that pipes a string into the command https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/653#change-87478 * Author: Tobu - * Status: Re-opened * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Nigel Kersten * Category: exec * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 0.25.4 * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- Use case: <pre> $password = "whatever" exec { "/usr/sbin/slapadd": stdin => template('module/config-data.ldif.erb') } </pre> It would also be a problem to use the shell here, because the password would become visible. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
