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://puppet.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  destinations 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 ']' automatically 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")'
