...to specify a destination directory other than "/" you pass it as an environment variable.

My custom external nodes script sets the environment variable, but Puppet ignores it. For testing, I have a manifest that deploys this template to a file: environment = <%= environment %> The output from my external nodes script: --- classes: - devhost environment: development parameters: memcached_memory: ''32'' But running "puppetd --test" results in the

Reminder for Mac Puppeteers going to WWDC How about we meet for lunch at noon on Tuesday. Let''s try to get the table closet to the Odwalla refrigerator, just for reference. We can get more specific on this list on the 8th after we verify the set up. I might even get there a little earlier and put down "reserved" tags. --- Thank you, Allan Marcus Solutions Architect Central

So we run puppetd as a long running ruby process on the hosts. When we update a fact that gets auto sync''d to the host it seems when puppetd wakes up and starts its catalog run it doesn''t re-sync the facts. It you run it standalone it will or if you restart the service then it will do the right thing. Do other people see this? Or have you all gone to running out of cron?

...at about the rate of one a second. The piling up of CLOSE_WAITs has stopped.

I''m new to Puppet, and I''m a software developer, not a sysadmin, so be gentle. I have puppet managing some files via templates, and one of the template variables that needs to be plugged in is a password of sorts that shouldn''t be generally available. In particular, it can''t be stored in the manifest, as that''s stored in version control, and the

Hi all, I''m wondering how people are handling OS X package installers that require reboots (e.g. 10.5.3) with Puppet - specifically how you get them to install without totally irritating your users. Specifically my client environment is 100% laptops, and many of them voyage home with users each day so just telling puppet to install them at 1am and to hell with user data*, so

I want to create a directory and THEN get files into that directory on a client. Puppet it seems does not follow the order of commands, like below in my example. Sometimes it creates the directory, then downloads the file, and sometimes it tries to download the file before creating the directory, so the file won''t be downloaded. How can I download a file and make certain the destination
