Hi, Installing my first Puppet master / client environment. All working well so far, the master and client are communicating. However it is not yet clear to me what triggers the client to pull from the master. For instance, I can see evidence of the client having executed the master''s site.pp file on startup, but when I make a change to site.pp the changes are not reflected in the client until I restart the client''s puppet process. I thought the Puppet client process would periodically pull from the server? Maybe I''m not waiting long enough.
