Others will know more about that than me.  Anyone care to jump in?

listen=true only causes puppet to listen for puppetrun triggers.  It
doesn''t
disable the standard running.  If you only want to run puppetd once, use the
--onetime option.

So... if you want to run it from cron, create a cron job that runs puppetd
--onetime, and don''t start the service.
