#!/usr/bin/env ruby # vim: softtabstop=4 shiftwidth=4 expandtab # # = Synopsis # # Use the Puppet RAL to directly interact with the system. # # = Usage # # puppet resource [-h|--help] [-d|--debug] [-v|--verbose] [-e|--edit] # [-H|--host ] [-p|--param ] [-t|--types] # type # # = Description # # This command provides simple facilities for converting current system state # into Puppet code, along with some ability to use Puppet to affect the current # state. # # By default, you must at least provide a type to list, which case puppet resource # will tell you everything it knows about all instances of that type. You can # optionally specify an instance name, and puppet resource will only describe that single # instance. # # You can also add +--edit+ as an argument, and puppet resource will write its output # to a file, open that file in an editor, and then apply the file as a Puppet # transaction. You can easily use this to use Puppet to make simple changes to # a system. # # = Options # # Note that any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration file # is also a valid long argument. For example, 'ssldir' is a valid configuration # parameter, so you can specify '--ssldir ' as an argument. # # See the configuration file documentation at # http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ConfigurationReference for # the full list of acceptable parameters. A commented list of all # configuration options can also be generated by running puppet with # '--genconfig'. # # debug:: # Enable full debugging. # # edit: # Write the results of the query to a file, open the file in an editor, # and read the file back in as an executable Puppet manifest. # # host: # When specified, connect to the resource server on the named host # and retrieve the list of resouces of the type specified. # # help: # Print this help message. # # param: # Add more parameters to be outputted from queries. # # types: # List all available types. # # verbose:: # Print extra information. # # = Example # # This example uses ``puppet resource`` to return Puppet configuration for the user ``luke``:: # # $ puppet resource user luke # user { 'luke': # home => '/home/luke', # uid => '100', # ensure => 'present', # comment => 'Luke Kanies,,,', # gid => '1000', # shell => '/bin/bash', # groups => ['sysadmin','audio','video','puppet'] # } # # = Author # # Luke Kanies # # = Copyright # # Copyright (c) 2005-2007 Reductive Labs, LLC # Licensed under the GNU Public License require 'puppet/application/resource' Puppet::Application[:resource].run
