Hi,
Take a look at external facts[1]. Since your fact is spawning a shell to
cat a file, you could get the same functionality without the effort of
maintaining that code.
Given a text file, /etc/facter/facts.d/environment_class.txt with the
contents
environment_class=some_text
you would have the custom fact 'environment_class' with the value
'some_text'.
