NAME

       puppet-script - Run a puppet manifests as a script without compiling a catalog

SYNOPSIS

       Runs a puppet language script without compiling a catalog.

USAGE

       puppet   script  [-h|--help]  [-V|--version]  [-d|--debug]  [-v|--verbose]  [-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, puppet 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://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/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´.

              A  path  ending with ´.json´ will receive structured output in JSON format. The log
              file will not have an ending ´]´ automatically written to it due to  the  appending
              nature of logging. It must be appended manually to make the content valid JSON.

       --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")´
