Puppet users - Dec 2007 - Puppet daemon not working -- works with cmd line

Hi,

          I have Redhat 9 &  RHEL 4.2 with puppet clients installed.

 

When is use puppetd -test the updates get effected, but when when
running them as daemon mode nothing happens.

 

## Nothing Happens - no change is detected

/etc/init.d/puppet status

puppetd (pid 15538) is running...

 

 

## When running manually puppetd -test the changes from server gets
updated.

Is there any way I can push from server rather then client.

 

Also in Redhat 9 I have to use CRTL+c to terminate puppetd -test - how I
make it run once.  Bcos if the daemon mode doesn''t works I cant pu them
in cron.

 

 

But the daemon mode wotj fine on CentOS 4.5

Nothing ever happens, or what?

It should wake up every half an hour and run.

Use puppetrun.

puppetd --onetime (and add --no-daemonize in 0.24.0).

RH9 is so ancient, I am amazed you got puppet to work on it ;)

What version of puppet are you using ? And what version of ruby ? Can
you include the output from your logfiles that a run in daemon mode
produces ?

puppetrun lets you do that. But it requires that your clients all listen
on a port for incoming connections.

You can run the client with the nonstandard 'once' option, i.e., doing
'/etc/init.d/puppet once -v --noop' will run the client just once,
without backgrounding it. Puppet's command line supports that directly,
too; see the output of '/usr/sbin/puppetd --genconfig' for details

CentOS 4.5 corresponds to RHEL 4.5 ... is there any way you can update
your RHEL machines to the latest available update level, too ?
