How to put %userprofile% in puppet exec
In Puppet, you can use the environment
attribute of the exec
resource to set environment variables, including %USERPROFILE%
. Here's how you can put %USERPROFILE%
in a Puppet exec
resource:
puppetexec { 'example_exec':
command => 'your_command_here',
environment => ['USERPROFILE=%USERPROFILE%'],
}
In the above example, the %USERPROFILE%
environment variable will be set to the current user's profile path when the exec
resource runs the command.
Alternatively, you can use the $env
Puppet fact to access the value of the USERPROFILE
environment variable directly:
puppetexec { 'example_exec':
command => "echo $::env['USERPROFILE']",
}
In this case, the exec
resource will run the echo
command and display the value of the USERPROFILE
environment variable.
Remember to replace 'your_command_here'
in the first example with the actual command you want to execute using %USERPROFILE%
as an environment variable. Similarly, modify the second example to perform the desired action with the value of the USERPROFILE
environment variable.
Note that Puppet is primarily used for configuration management, and it's generally not recommended to execute commands directly in Puppet manifests. Instead, consider using Puppet's built-in resource types and providers for managing configurations and packages on the target system. Executing arbitrary commands in Puppet manifests may lead to undesired side effects or lack of idempotency.
