Puppet users - May 2008 - How to pass parameter from puppet-client ?

Hi all,
I''m using puppet. I want to implement a part of manifests(Only 1
function in
manifests). I''m wondering, how can i pass parameter from puppet-client
or
how to configure puppet-client to run a part of manifest.
More detail: i want to manage packages for server. Server doesn''t have
update management tool, it supports rpm. I''m requested to use puppet.
Anybody can suggest for me ?
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
Firstly, thank for your answer
As i know tags is used for resources, that means all the tags has to define
in the manifests before using
Can puppet-client pass the variable parameter to puppetmaster ?
Have anyone ever done it?
Can i write a program, module to capture tags, that doesn''t exist in
the
manifest ?

Thank in advance
TungDH

Puppet will make variables for environment variables named FACTER_. So if 
you wanted a variable called $foo in your manifest run puppetd like 
"FACTER_foo=bar puppetd ...".  You can tie that to tags so that
defining a
variable in the environment defines a tag:

if $foo { 
  tag(dosomething)
}

if tagged(dosomething) {
  dosomething
}

The way to achieve what you''re trying to do is use some kind of 
classification system that Puppet can plug into (I''m thinking
iClassify)
so that you can query relevant information when building templates, etc.

There is no way to get arbitrary data back from puppet apart from the 
suggestion below
