If your custom fact has any errors, the fact will never work. You don't have to
go searching for 'facts' - on any particular machine you should be able to just
run from cli...
facter (NAME OF FACT) - i.e. facter curtime
I also neglected to mention that there really is no reason whatsoever to resort
to shell just to do date things because ruby has a very rich 'Date' class
built-in.
irb(main):001:0> require 'date'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> d = Date.today
=> #<Date: 4911483/2,0,2299161>
irb(main):003:0> y = d.wday
=> 3
irb(main):001:0> require 'date'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> d = Date.today
=> #<Date: 4911483/2,0,2299161>
irb(main):003:0> y = d + 3
=> #<Date: 4911489/2,0,2299161>
irb(main):004:0> z = y.strftime("%m-%d-%Y")
=> "07-02-2011"
