Puppet users - Dec 2012 - Puppet agent exit code for monitoring script

Hello,

I would like to build a script, which notifies me, when a production host 
notices, that there change on a host, based on the Puppet exit codes 
without executing it.

This doesn''t returns a code. According to several posts on the web it 
should work. (I know that --test should also inherit --detailed-exitcode). 
But it didn''t work for me:
puppet agent --test --noop --detailed-exitcode

I''d like to avoid to build a bash wrapper around it if Puppet provides 
already the function to dry-run and return an exit code, so I can build it 
entirely in Ruby.

Would really appreciate it if somebody could help.

Best regards,
Felix

Probably easier and more effective to examine
/var/lib/puppet/state/last_run_summary.yaml. As obvious from the
filename it contains information about the latest Puppet run in a simple
YAML format.

there''s a check script that uses this file @
https://github.com/ripienaar/monitoring-scripts/blob/master/puppet/check_puppet.rb

the file has a lot of strange behaviors, sometimes empty, sometimes full
of values etcetc. the script above attempt to handle those well
