OSPolicy Resource Exec Resource Args
A resource that allows executing scripts on the VM. The ExecResource
has 2 stages: validate
and enforce
and both stages accept a script as an argument to execute. When the ExecResource
is applied by the agent, it first executes the script in the validate
stage. The validate
stage can signal that the ExecResource
is already in the desired state by returning an exit code of 100
. If the ExecResource
is not in the desired state, it should return an exit code of 101
. Any other exit code returned by this stage is considered an error. If the ExecResource
is not in the desired state based on the exit code from the validate
stage, the agent proceeds to execute the script from the enforce
stage. If the ExecResource
is already in the desired state, the enforce
stage will not be run. Similar to validate
stage, the enforce
stage should return an exit code of 100
to indicate that the resource in now in its desired state. Any other exit code is considered an error. NOTE: An exit code of 100
was chosen over 0
(and 101
vs 1
) to have an explicit indicator of in desired state
, not in desired state
and errors. Because, for example, Powershell will always return an exit code of 0
unless an exit
statement is provided in the script. So, for reasons of consistency and being explicit, exit codes 100
and 101
were chosen.
