this is working:

exec { myexectest:
    path        => "/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin",
    cwd         => "/home/user/.ssh",
    command =>"echo test > test.txt",
    unless       => "test -e test.txt"

}

the idea was if a file does not exist just execute something I don't if 
there is a better way of doing that
