Crazily enough, Puppet doesn't capture standard error at all. It
is always thrown away, making debugging exec:s unnecessarily hard.
(Unless this has changed in 2.6; I still haven't had time to try
that out.)

Here is one way:
file {
"$oracle_base/dba/bin/database_backup.ksh":
ensure => file, noop => true, loglevel => err;
}
The 'noop => true' parameter tells Puppet to not actualy create that
file, and 'loglevel => err' makes it log that fact as an error instead
of as a notice. If the file doesn't exist, you will get a message like
this on every Puppet run:
err: //Node[kumiko]/File[/opt/oracle/dba/bin/database_backup.ksh]/ensure:
is absent, should be file (noop)
And here is another way:
exec {
database-backup-script-missing:
command => '/bin/echo "database_backup.ksh missing"; /bin/false',
creates => "$oracle_base/dba/bin/database_backup.ksh",
logoutput => true, loglevel => err;
}
This gives me the messages
err: //Node[kumiko]/Exec[database-backup-script-missing]/returns:
database_backup.ksh missing
err: //Node[kumiko]/Exec[database-backup-script-missing]/returns:
change from notrun to 0 failed: /bin/echo "database_backup.ksh
missing"; /bin/false
returned 1 instead of one of [0] at /tmp/blaha.pp:17
when the file doesn't exist.
