Recipe executing shell command

Kelly_Goedert · January 10, 2012, 7:13pm

Hi,

I am trying to create a recipe that will make a silent install of a
jdk1.5. The recipe is like this:

remote_file “#{user_home}/install/jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-amd64.bin” do
source "http://10.1.1.6/files/jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-amd64.bin"
owner user_name
group user_name
mode "0777"
end

remote_file “#{user_home}/install/answerjdk5” do
source "http://10.1.1.6/files/answerjdk5"
owner user_name
group user_name
mode "0755"
end

execute “install_jdk5” do
command "#{user_home}/install/jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-amd64.bin <
#{user_home}/install/answerjdk5 > /dev/null"
action :run
end

The files are downloaded correctly and if I execute the command
manually it works fine. In the client log, everything seems to be ok.
But the jdk folder is not created.

You may need to use the 'cwd' parameter for the execute.

Running the chef-client with "-l debug" will also show you more output.

Adding the cwd parameter solved the problem
