[Puppet Users] using puppet and command line parameters?
I would like to use puppet (not puppetd or puppetmaster mind you) to
perform some local system admin stuff.
I want to do things like
puppet ARG1 ARG2....
Which then can be used in the puppet recipe.
package {"${ARG1}":
ensure => installed,
}
Is this possible? I need to pass options to the puppet recipe.
''facter'' isn''t an option since I"m making nagios
config files for
other servers. Yes I realize puppet can do this with storedconfigs,
but storedconfigs causes our setup to be very unstable. So while I am
waiting for a newer release of puppetmaster, I would like to automate
our nagios setup in some fashion.
