Puppet users - Feb 2007 - Puppet client not reloading manifest

Hi

I have installed the puppet master daemon and a puppet client but the puppet
client is not periodically reloading the manifest, even though the client
connects successfully and applies the manifest when started up the first
time. My simple test manifest looks as follows:

node default {
  file {"/home/ubuntuvm1/test.txt":
           mode => 777
  }
}

Is it possible to set the frequency at which the client checks for and
applies changes to in the central manifest?

I previously posted this to the dev mailing list (sorry) because i could not
find any other mailing list at the time(no way to find user mailing list
from main page, had to google search).

Thanks

To change the frequency that puppetd on the client polls the server you can set
"runinterval = seconds" in /etc/puppet/puppetd.conf.

For example if you wanted the client to check in every 15 minutes you would put:

[puppetd]
runinterval = 900

And then restart puppetd.
