Puppet users - Jan 2011 - puppet kick timeout

I have a problem today.
In my business, i have more than 10 linux servers , each of which runs
a puppet client.
on my puppet master server， sometimes , i need trigger every server to
update  from puppet master right now , so i wirte a shell script to
traversal each server to run command "puppet kick
node_name.example.com", but some client will cause a timeout for a
long time. I  don''t wanna wait so long time, i need the puppet_master
skip trigger a client_server which can not be connected. I can not
find the way to set timeout from the "puppet" command help manual. On
the other hand, I found another way to trigger a client update from
puppetlab''s online document, that is rest api "curl -k -X PUT -H
"Content-Type: text/pson" -d "{}"
https://puppetclient:8139/production/run/{anything}".
I run this command on my puppet_master server, but it said "Forbidden
request: 172.168.2.2(172.168.2.2) access to /run/puppet/ [save] at
line 97" which said something wrong happend . But one thing surprise
me , which is  the client did updated at that time. Anyone could give
me a suggestion ?

Also i read the topic "puppetrun pings the remote host Options" in
this group, but that has not answer at last.

You may want to look at utilizing mCollective to do this as it will provide a
more structured way to handle this task. In this case,
''available'' hosts would be queried and the execution would run
on hosts in parallel.
