It sounds like you haven't set up the puppet fileserver yet. Choose a directory
that will hold files you want to copy to clients. I use /opt/files, so that's
what is in my example. Create fileserver.conf in the same directory as
puppet.conf and add these lines:
[files]
path /opt/files
allow *.client.domain
Put your shell file in the path you specified. Now you just need to set up a
file and exec resource. Note the source item in the file resource and the
require item in exec.
file { '/etc/shell_file':
ensure => present,
owner => 'root',
group => 'root',
mode => '0755',
source => 'puppet://puppet/files/shell_file',
}
exec { '/etc/shell_file': require => File['/etc/shell_file'] }
