Hi there, On some machines, I see the following: * There are two puppet processes. The agent and a child process "Puppet: applying configuration" * A lck file with the PID of the child process. * The lock file is two days old * There are no log entries in the agent's log file. It seems the agent hangs for an unknown reason. Is there an option in the agent to kill the child process after a timeout? If not, what would be an appropriate way to kill an agent that hangs automatically? Should I use a cron job instead and implement the timeout myself?
