catalog
SYNOPSIS

[-e|--execute] [-l|--logdest syslog|eventlog|FILE|console] [--noop]
file
DESCRIPTION
This is a standalone puppet script runner tool; use it to run puppet
code without compiling a catalog.
When provided with a modulepath, via command line or config file, pup-
pet script can load functions, types, tasks and plans from modules.
OPTIONS
Note that any setting that's valid in the configuration file is also a
valid long argument. For example, 'environment' is a valid setting, so
you can specify '--environment mytest' as an argument.
See the configuration file documentation at https://pup-
pet.com/docs/puppet/latest/configuration.html 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.
--help Print this help message
--logdest
Where to send log messages. Choose between 'syslog' (the POSIX
syslog service), 'eventlog' (the Windows Event Log), 'console',
or the path to a log file. Defaults to 'console'. Multiple des-
tinations can be set using a comma separated list (eg:
/path/file1,console,/path/file2)"
A path ending with '.json' will receive structured output in
JSON format. The log file will not have an ending ']' automati-
cally written to it due to the appending nature of logging. It
must be appended manually to make the content valid JSON.
A path ending with '.jsonl' will receive structured output in
JSON Lines format.
--noop Use 'noop' mode where Puppet runs in a no-op or dry-run mode.
This is useful for seeing what changes Puppet will make without
actually executing the changes. Applies to tasks only.
--execute
Execute a specific piece of Puppet code
--verbose
Print extra information.
EXAMPLE
$ puppet script -l /tmp/manifest.log manifest.pp
$ puppet script --modulepath=/root/dev/modules -e 'notice("hello world")'
