class Resource
class Execute < Chef::Resource
provides :execute, target_mode: true
description "Use the **execute** resource to execute a single command. Commands that are executed with this resource are (by their nature) not idempotent, as they are typically unique to the environment in which they are run. Use `not_if` and `only_if` to guard this resource for idempotence. Note: Use the **script** resource to execute a script using a specific interpreter (Ruby, Python, Perl, csh, or Bash)."
examples <<~EXAMPLES
**Run a command upon notification**:
```ruby
execute 'slapadd' do
command 'slapadd < /tmp/something.ldif'
creates '/var/lib/slapd/uid.bdb'
action :nothing
end
template '/tmp/something.ldif' do
source 'something.ldif'
notifies :run, 'execute[slapadd]', :immediately
end
```
**Run a touch file only once while running a command**:
```ruby
execute 'upgrade script' do
command 'php upgrade-application.php && touch /var/application/.upgraded'
creates '/var/application/.upgraded'
action :run
end
```
**Run a command which requires an environment variable**:
```ruby
execute 'slapadd' do
command 'slapadd < /tmp/something.ldif'
creates '/var/lib/slapd/uid.bdb'
action :run
environment ({'HOME' => '/home/my_home'})
end
```
**Delete a repository using yum to scrub the cache**:
```ruby
# the following code sample thanks to gaffneyc @ https://gist.github.com/918711
execute 'clean-yum-cache' do
command 'yum clean all'
action :nothing
end
file '/etc/yum.repos.d/bad.repo' do
action :delete
notifies :run, 'execute[clean-yum-cache]', :immediately
end
```
**Prevent restart and reconfigure if configuration is broken**:
Use the `:nothing` action (common to all resources) to prevent the test from
starting automatically, and then use the `subscribes` notification to run a
configuration test when a change to the template is detected.
```ruby
execute 'test-nagios-config' do
command 'nagios3 --verify-config'
action :nothing
subscribes :run, 'template[/etc/nagios3/configures-nagios.conf]', :immediately
end
```
**Notify in a specific order**:
To notify multiple resources, and then have these resources run in a certain
order, do something like the following.
```ruby
execute 'foo' do
command '...'
notifies :create, 'template[baz]', :immediately
notifies :install, 'package[bar]', :immediately
notifies :run, 'execute[final]', :immediately
end
template 'baz' do
#...
notifies :run, 'execute[restart_baz]', :immediately
end
package 'bar'
execute 'restart_baz'
execute 'final' do
command '...'
end
```
where the sequencing will be in the same order as the resources are listed in
the recipe: `execute 'foo'`, `template 'baz'`, `execute [restart_baz]`,
`package 'bar'`, and `execute 'final'`.
**Execute a command using a template**:
The following example shows how to set up IPv4 packet forwarding using the
**execute** resource to run a command named `forward_ipv4` that uses a template
defined by the **template** resource.
```ruby
execute 'forward_ipv4' do
command 'echo > /proc/.../ipv4/ip_forward'
action :nothing
end
template '/etc/file_name.conf' do
source 'routing/file_name.conf.erb'
notifies :run, 'execute[forward_ipv4]', :delayed
end
```
where the `command` property for the **execute** resource contains the command
that is to be run and the `source` property for the **template** resource
specifies which template to use. The `notifies` property for the **template**
specifies that the `execute[forward_ipv4]` (which is defined by the **execute**
resource) should be queued up and run at the end of a Chef Infra Client run.
**Add a rule to an IP table**:
The following example shows how to add a rule named `test_rule` to an IP table
using the **execute** resource to run a command using a template that is defined
by the **template** resource:
```ruby
execute 'test_rule' do
command "command_to_run
--option value
--option value
--source \#{node[:name_of_node][:ipsec][:local][:subnet]}
-j test_rule"
action :nothing
end
template '/etc/file_name.local' do
source 'routing/file_name.local.erb'
notifies :run, 'execute[test_rule]', :delayed
end
```
where the `command` property for the **execute** resource contains the command
that is to be run and the `source` property for the **template** resource
specifies which template to use. The `notifies` property for the **template**
specifies that the `execute[test_rule]` (which is defined by the **execute**
resource) should be queued up and run at the end of a Chef Infra Client run.
**Stop a service, do stuff, and then restart it**:
The following example shows how to use the **execute**, **service**, and
**mount** resources together to ensure that a node running on Amazon EC2 is
running MySQL. This example does the following:
- Checks to see if the Amazon EC2 node has MySQL
- If the node has MySQL, stops MySQL
- Installs MySQL
- Mounts the node
- Restarts MySQL
```ruby
# the following code sample comes from the ``server_ec2``
# recipe in the following cookbook:
# https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/mysql
if (node.attribute?('ec2') && !FileTest.directory?(node['mysql']['ec2_path']))
service 'mysql' do
action :stop
end
execute 'install-mysql' do
command "mv \#{node['mysql']['data_dir']} \#{node['mysql']['ec2_path']}"
not_if { ::File.directory?(node['mysql']['ec2_path']) }
end
[node['mysql']['ec2_path'], node['mysql']['data_dir']].each do |dir|
directory dir do
owner 'mysql'
group 'mysql'
end
end
mount node['mysql']['data_dir'] do
device node['mysql']['ec2_path']
fstype 'none'
options 'bind,rw'
action [:mount, :enable]
end
service 'mysql' do
action :start
end
end
```
where
- the two **service** resources are used to stop, and then restart the MySQL service
- the **execute** resource is used to install MySQL
- the **mount** resource is used to mount the node and enable MySQL
**Use the platform_family? method**:
The following is an example of using the `platform_family?` method in the Recipe
DSL to create a variable that can be used with other resources in the same
recipe. In this example, `platform_family?` is being used to ensure that a
specific binary is used for a specific platform before using the **remote_file**
resource to download a file from a remote location, and then using the
**execute** resource to install that file by running a command.
```ruby
if platform_family?('rhel')
pip_binary = '/usr/bin/pip'
else
pip_binary = '/usr/local/bin/pip'
end
remote_file "\#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}/distribute_setup.py" do
source 'http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py'
mode '0755'
not_if { ::File.exist?(pip_binary) }
end
execute 'install-pip' do
cwd Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]
command <<~EOF
# command for installing Python goes here
EOF
not_if { ::File.exist?(pip_binary) }
end
```
where a command for installing Python might look something like:
```ruby
\#{node['python']['binary']} distribute_setup.py \#{::File.dirname(pip_binary)}/easy_install pip
```
**Control a service using the execute resource**:
<div class="admonition-warning">
<p class="admonition-warning-title">Warning</p>
<div class="admonition-warning-text">
This is an example of something that should NOT be done. Use the **service**
resource to control a service, not the **execute** resource.
</div>
</div>
Do something like this:
```ruby
service 'tomcat' do
action :start
end
```
and NOT something like this:
```ruby
execute 'start-tomcat' do
command '/etc/init.d/tomcat start'
action :run
end
```
There is no reason to use the **execute** resource to control a service because
the **service** resource exposes the `start_command` property directly, which
gives a recipe full control over the command issued in a much cleaner, more
direct manner.
**Use the search Infra Language helper to find users**:
The following example shows how to use the `search` method in the Chef Infra Language to
search for users:
```ruby
# the following code sample comes from the openvpn cookbook:
search("users", "*:*") do |u|
execute "generate-openvpn-\#{u['id']}" do
command "./pkitool \#{u['id']}"
cwd '/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa'
end
%w{ conf ovpn }.each do |ext|
template "\#{node['openvpn']['key_dir']}/\#{u['id']}.\#{ext}" do
source 'client.conf.erb'
variables :username => u['id']
end
end
end
```
where
- the search data will be used to create **execute** resources
- the **template** resource tells Chef Infra Client which template to use
**Enable remote login for macOS**:
```ruby
execute 'enable ssh' do
command '/usr/sbin/systemsetup -setremotelogin on'
not_if '/usr/sbin/systemsetup -getremotelogin | /usr/bin/grep On'
action :run
end
```
**Execute code immediately, based on the template resource**:
By default, notifications are `:delayed`, that is they are queued up as they are
triggered, and then executed at the very end of a Chef Infra Client run. To run
an action immediately, use `:immediately`:
```ruby
template '/etc/nagios3/configures-nagios.conf' do
# other parameters
notifies :run, 'execute[test-nagios-config]', :immediately
end
```
and then Chef Infra Client would immediately run the following:
```ruby
execute 'test-nagios-config' do
command 'nagios3 --verify-config'
action :nothing
end
```
**Sourcing a file**:
The **execute** resource cannot be used to source a file (e.g. `command 'source
filename'`). The following example will fail because `source` is not an
executable:
```ruby
execute 'foo' do
command 'source /tmp/foo.sh'
end
```
Instead, use the **script** resource or one of the **script**-based resources
(**bash**, **csh**, **perl**, **python**, or **ruby**). For example:
```ruby
bash 'foo' do
code 'source /tmp/foo.sh'
end
```
**Run a Knife command**:
```ruby
execute 'create_user' do
command <<~EOM
knife user create \#{user}
--admin
--password password
--disable-editing
--file /home/vagrant/.chef/user.pem
--config /tmp/knife-admin.rb
EOM
end
```
**Run install command into virtual environment**:
The following example shows how to install a lightweight JavaScript framework
into Vagrant:
```ruby
execute "install q and zombiejs" do
cwd "/home/vagrant"
user "vagrant"
environment ({'HOME' => '/home/vagrant', 'USER' => 'vagrant'})
command "npm install -g q zombie should mocha coffee-script"
action :run
end
```
**Run a command as a named user**:
The following example shows how to run `bundle install` from a Chef Infra Client
run as a specific user. This will put the gem into the path of the user
(`vagrant`) instead of the root user (under which the Chef Infra Client runs):
```ruby
execute '/opt/chefdk/embedded/bin/bundle install' do
cwd node['chef_workstation']['bundler_path']
user node['chef_workstation']['user']
environment ({
'HOME' => "/home/\#{node['chef_workstation']['user']}",
'USER' => node['chef_workstation']['user']
})
not_if 'bundle check'
end
```
**Run a command as an alternate user**:
*Note*: When Chef is running as a service, this feature requires that the user
that Chef runs as has 'SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege' (aka
'SE_ASSIGNPRIMARYTOKEN_NAME') user right. By default only LocalSystem and
NetworkService have this right when running as a service. This is necessary
even if the user is an Administrator.
This right can be added and checked in a recipe using this example:
```ruby
# Add 'SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege' for the user
Chef::ReservedNames::Win32::Security.add_account_right('<user>', 'SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege')
# Check if the user has 'SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege' rights
Chef::ReservedNames::Win32::Security.get_account_right('<user>').include?('SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege')
```
The following example shows how to run `mkdir test_dir` from a Chef Infra Client
run as an alternate user.
```ruby
# Passing only username and password
execute 'mkdir test_dir' do
cwd Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]
user "username"
password "password"
end
# Passing username and domain
execute 'mkdir test_dir' do
cwd Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]
domain "domain-name"
user "user"
password "password"
end
# Passing username = 'domain-name\\username'. No domain is passed
execute 'mkdir test_dir' do
cwd Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]
user "domain-name\\username"
password "password"
end
# Passing username = 'username@domain-name'. No domain is passed
execute 'mkdir test_dir' do
cwd Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]
user "username@domain-name"
password "password"
end
```
**Run a command with an external input file**:
execute 'md5sum' do
input File.read(__FILE__)
end
EXAMPLES
# The ResourceGuardInterpreter wraps a resource's guards in another resource. That inner resource
# needs to behave differently during (for example) why_run mode, so we flag it here. For why_run mode
# we still want to execute the guard resource even if we are not executing the wrapping resource.
# Only execute resources (and subclasses) can be guard interpreters.
