Puppet is doing what it is supposed to do: report changed resources. Puppet
isn't aware of the content of your script, so it treats each run (that has
an exit code of 0) as if something has changed. I'm guessing that your
script is currently executing each time puppet runs? Can you describe what
this script is doing in general detail? If it's looking for a certain
situation and doing something if it finds it (and doing nothing if it finds
nothing), for example:
if [ "$(uptime | awk '{print $3}')" -gt 7 ]; then echo 'OMG! I have been up
more than a week!'; fi
then I'd recommend putting the "looking for" portion of the script into the
'onlyif' parameter of the exec and the "doing something" portion in the
'command' parameter. For example:
exec { 'uptime_test':
command => "echo 'OMG! My uptime is abysmal!' > /etc/motd",
onlyif => '[ "$(uptime | awk \'{print $3}\')" -lt 7 ]',
}
Here, puppet will only report that the Exec[uptime_test] resource executed
successfully if the computer has been up for less than 7 days. Once the
uptime exceeds that condition, you'll see no notice from this resource on
your puppet reports.
