I've clearly not approaching this correctly, so would appreciate some
advice.

I have a trivial shell script to execute. I've whittled this down to a
one line invocation of true.  The file is called test and has mode 755

I'm testing with:
sudo puppetd --debug --test

I'm using puppet-0.25.5-2.fc15.noarch on the client and
puppet-0.25.5-1.fc14.noarch on the server.

I have an exec component that looks like this:

    exec { "initMysql":
        cwd => "/home/tim/backups",
        path => ["/usr/bin", "/bin"],
        command => "/home/tim/backups/test",  # fails
#        command => "/home/tim/backups/test 2>&1", # works
#        command => "/home/tim/backups/test > /tmp/wibble", # works
#        command => "/home/tim/backups/test 2> /tmp/wibble", # works
        logoutput => true,
        creates => "/home/tim/backups/inited",
    }

Failure looks like this:

debug: //Node[uranustest]/Exec[initMysql]: Changing returns
debug: //Node[uranustest]/Exec[initMysql]: 1 change(s)
debug: //Node[uranustest]/Exec[initMysql]: Executing '/home/tim/
backups/test'
debug: Executing '/home/tim/backups/test'
err: //Node[uranustest]/Exec[initMysql]/returns: change from notrun to
0 failed: /home/tim/backups/test returned 1 instead of one of [0] at /
etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp:117


An example of success looks like this:

debug: //Node[uranustest]/Exec[initMysql]: Changing returns
debug: //Node[uranustest]/Exec[initMysql]: 1 change(s)
debug: //Node[uranustest]/Exec[initMysql]: Executing '/home/tim/
backups/test 2>&1'
debug: Executing '/home/tim/backups/test 2>&1'
notice: //Node[uranustest]/Exec[initMysql]/returns: executed
successfully

I'm pretty sure that I shouldn't need to redirect the output to get
the command to work.

Any thoughts?

Tim
