Roy,
I don't believe you need to customize an exec for this - you can simply
define a service with the JobID of your Launchd plist, and then send the plist
to the /Library/LaunchDaemons directory. See the docs site for the launchd
type reference -->
http://docs.reductivelabs.com/references/stable/type.html#service and then
check out a classfile to ensure our Puppet LaunchDaemon is running -->
http://github.com/huronschools/Huron-City-Schools-Puppet-Repository/blob/master/manifests/classes/puppetlaunchdaemon.pp
Is this what you're talking about, or are you thinking of something else?
