Puppet users - Jul 2013 - Renaming puppet binary to use with two puppet agent instances

I''m trying to do the same thing and running into two minor problems.. I
   would like to rename the puppet command 
   to something like puppet3. We''re running two versions for two
separate
   teams for 2.7 and 3.x However, when I try to do a symlink I get the 
   following error.
    
   Error: Unknown Puppet subcommand ''puppet3''
   See ''puppet help'' for help on available puppet subcommands
    
   ie 
   puppet agent -t -> everything is normal
    
   puppet3 agent -t -> calls puppet3 /opt/puppet3.2/bin/puppet


   Error: Unknown Puppet subcommand ''puppet3''
      See ''puppet help'' for help on available puppet
subcommands
    
   I do not have any problems with puppet colliding with puppet 2 but
I''d
   like to use a shortcut vs using the /path/to/puppet3/bin/.puppet. 


   Is there a way to do this?
    
   Thank you. 


   -John

I think the general consensus on multiple masters managing a node is
"don''t do it".

I personally can''t see a reason why this sort of thing is even
necessary.

Why do you need two separate masters managing the same node?

What specific reason do you need to split the resource management
between two masters?

Can''t you achieve the same effect with modules?

This isn''t about two masters, but two agents. 

The reason being is permissions.. sudo, ldap, nfs, ntp, etc is managed by a 
separate group. Everything else is up to us. We do not have access to that 
master and they are using 2.7, while we would like to use the 3.x version. 
It''s not the best situation. Because our modules are written in 3.x
syntax,
we cannot share modules because we use the newer features in 3.x vs 2.7. 

The installation/run works fine and coexist with absolute path, as 
recommended by R.I, just not with the renamed short command. 

I''m just curious about the shortcut, because normally I would symlink
to
the binary and it would be fine, but in this scenario when I symlink it 
ends up using the command as an ARGV 0 value.
