Puppet users - May 2013 - How to restart Apache server instances (running on nodes) with Puppet & MCollective ?

Hello All,

I am new to puppet and mcollective, so need help from you guys to work on 
it.
I am using open source version of mcollective and puppet. and I am using 
RHEL as operating system on my servers.
I have installed mcollective and have installed puppet agent (on nodes) and 
I am able to run puppet agent and the predefined methods in the puppet 
agent.

But now i am facing some problems and have following questions regarding 
that :

1) How can I make puppet & mcollective work together to call a puppet 
script placed on server to execute commands on other Nodes (In which puppet 
agent is installed) ?

2) How can I manually restart more than one apache instances running on the 
Nodes using mcollective and puppet ? 

Please help me with these questions and give me a detailed solution as i am 
new to puppet and mcollective.

Thanks,

Regards,

If you want to see what nodes respond to mcollective:

# mco ping


To see what agents a node supports:

# mco rpc rpcutil agent_inventory -I hostname


To restart a ''httpd'' service on a single node:

# mco rpc service restart service=httpd -I hostname

Use discovery filters:
