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")´
