That works. Many thanks.

The recent traffic about " puppet master --compile ... " got me tinkering with 
it. 

I found a lot of old syntax in my templates, so I added "@" in front of all the 
current scope variables. 
That got rid of all the grumbles but one: 

Warning: Unrecognised escape sequence '\1' 
Warning: Unrecognised escape sequence '\2' 

from one of my manifests/init.pp files. 

The offending code can be found here: 

https://github.com/mcgonagle/puppet_nist/blob/master/nist/modules/umask/manifests/init.pp
 

...at the end of the file, 

define umask-replace($file) { 
exec { 
"umask_replace_${file}": 
command => "/bin/sed -i -r 's/(umask)([ \t]*)[0-9]{3}/\1\2077/gi' $file", 
onlyif => "/usr/bin/test `/bin/egrep -i '(umask|UMASK)[[:space:]]*[0-9]{3}' 
$file | /bin/egrep -v -i '(umask|UMASK)[[:space:]]*077' | /bin/wc -l` -ne 0"; 
} 
} 

Specifically, the "command" line 





Since you're in a double quoted string, I assume the \1 and \2 backreferences 
need to be escaped: 


"/bin/sed -i -r 's/(umask)([ \t]*)[0-9]{3}/\\1\\2077/gi' $file",
