In a recent version of Puppet - one that provides the `shell` and
`exec` providers for exec - none of this should be necessary.
If you give the `shell` provider, you will get your command run with
the default shell, which should do the right thing. (Obviously, if
the Solaris `/bin/sh` doesn't like your code, it won't work ;)
