I have installed puppet using the FreeBSD port. However, when I try to use the agent, it attempts to start the puppetd daemon. It seems that there is no way to use this installation without running the daemon. Can anyone shed any light on this?

(I''m just starting with FreeBSD, albeit with some months of puppet experience.) The puppet agent implies a daemon, but try something like this for a single run in the foreground: puppet agent --no-daemonize --onetime On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 07:31:14AM -0400, JA wrote:> I have installed puppet using the FreeBSD port.

Thanks so much! However, I am a bit stumped and would so appreciate any clarity you can provide. If I execute ''puppet agent --test'' on a RHEL box, it does not start the daemon. But, if I do the same thing using the FreeBSD port, it does attempt to start the daemon. Obviously, I am missing something here... Thanks!

Why not this? ''puppet agent -t'' or ''puppet agent --test'' From puppet help.. (ughh, no manpage) * --test: Enable the most common options used for testing. These are ''onetime'', ''verbose'', ''ignorecache'', ''no-daemonize'', ''no-usecacheonfailure'', ''detailed-exit-codes'', ''no-splay'', and ''show_diff''. -dkw On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 10:02:10AM -0400, Christopher Wood wrote:> (I''m just starting with FreeBSD, albeit with some months of puppet experience.) > > The puppet agent implies a daemon, but try something like this for a single run in the foreground: > > puppet agent --no-daemonize --onetime > > On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 07:31:14AM -0400, JA wrote: > > I have installed puppet using the FreeBSD port.

The thing is, when I execute puppet agent --test It tries to start the daemon automatically. I do not get this same behavior on RHEL and I am trying to understand this.... I am totally new to puppet land so, maybe I am just missing something here Thanks!

I couldn''t say, perhaps different versions? Or run with more verbosity and see what both versions are doing. Puppet 2.6.2 on Debian Stable (6.0.4): "Enable the most common options used for testing. These are +onetime+, +verbose+, +ignorecache, +no-daemonize+, and +no-usecacheonfailure+." Puppet 2.7.6 on FreeBSD (9.0-RELEASE): "Enable the most common options used for testing. These are ''onetime'', ''verbose'', ''ignorecache'', ''no-daemonize'', ''no-usecacheonfailure'', ''detailed-exit-codes'', ''no-splay'', and ''show_diff''." I''m not sure it matters as long as you can get a onetime run. Dig into the ruby code if it''s really bothering you, of course. As to Darryl''s comment in another branch, I haven''t needed more than no-daemonize, verbose, and debug to solve all my problems so far.

Jackie: Please post your 1.) puppet.conf, OS Relase, and version of puppet. 2.) uname -a 3.) pkg_info |grep puppet Can you check the ps output to make sure there wasn''t already a running puppet. Do you have any jails on the machine that may be running puppet as well and causing PID confusion?
