Puppet users - Feb 2012 - Time interval within execution of scripts from the server

Hi,

I have multiple script to be copied & executed from the puppet server
on the client systems but i want to execute
each script within a timeframe such as hourly, weekly or monthly from
the puppet server as i dont want to execute all scripts on the same
frequency.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
mukulm

Hi,

 I am running multiple scripts on number of machines through puppet
server as my server is CentOS 5.6 & clients are Ubuntu 11.04 & the
scripts are executed in above 2000   clients/nodes so I dont want to
execute the scripts on multiple nodes at the same time.

 Thanks
 mukulm
