The file will be the parameter for the exec or the content of the file will be ?
If it's the former it's trivial :
$my_file_arg = '/tmp/myarg.txt'
file { $my_file_arg:
content => "Hello now",
}
exec {"Use $my_file_arg":
require => File[$my_file_arg],
command => "/bin/sed -i s/Hello/Bye/g $my_file_arg",
}
Then :
$ Notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/myarg.txt]/content: content changed '{md5}eae30b7e92a3f86a14b73bcbf2e012f4' to '{md5}9047c28dc2e1d336f291fa13b35e1068'
Notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[Use /tmp/myarg.txt]/returns: executed successfully
Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.10 seconds
$ cat /tmp/myarg.txt
Bye now
If ...
Sure. First, make sure the file is created on disk using a File resource.
file {'config-file':
ensure => present,
path => '/tmp/config-file',
owner => 'root',
group => 'root',
mode => '0644',
source => 'puppet:///modules/yourmodule/config-file',
}
Now call your Exec, making sure that the Exec requires the File resource so that it runs only after the file has been created.
Exec {'your-command':
command => '/path/to/your/command --file /tmp/config-file',
}
# Ensures that the file is created before running the command
File['config-file'] -> Exec['your-command']
