What is the proper way to pull in a variable into a

exec

command

?

/usr/bin/echo ${::db_name}

<- will this not work? It doesn't seem to work for me. Can the

$db_name

be pulled in from another profile/module that has been included in the role file? I have created a new module that I want to pull in the

$db_name

from, but this variable is declared in another module/profile that is being included with the role that is being ran.
