Puppet users - Feb 2012 - mcollective plugin question

We''ve been using mcollective primarily for coordinate service restart
across nodes as well as facts-finding, which are all well and good.

One thing we would like to utilize this tool is to create an arbitrary shell
command plugins/services so our master can really act as a command center.

I spoke with a couple folks and know that this is just as a matter of writing
the plugin itself, but I''m wondering if folks here already have a
solution for it or if you have any pointers we can check.  :)

Thx in advance.

I''ve not used it, but this looks to fit the bill:

You might want to look into the "puppetral" plugin to mcollective.  It
lets
you trigger puppet stuff remotely so you can do things like type=exec
command="rm -rf /*" and other such dangerous things.  I tried it
recently
and the important action of "do" has vanished (so there''s an
open ticket on
that) but it should do what you need!
