Hi, I''ve installed puppet gem on freebsd 6.1 and wrote a simple startup script for puppetmasterd. It starts fine, but doesn''t create the pidfile, so I can''t stop it. Here is my script: #!/bin/sh utility_enable=${utility_enable-"NO"} utility_flags=${utility_flags-""} utility_pidfile=${utility_pidfile-"/var/run/puppetmasterd.pid"} .

Is there any "correct" way to get puppetmasterd to not spam syslog with (mount[blah]) File source foo does not exist messages when using file source selection lists? I use them quite extensively, so it''s getting quite out of hand. The last resort will be to comment out the offending print statement! -- Russell A.

Hello, i wanted to know if we can use exported ressrouces to do things like this: - for all nodes tagged as xxx create on the node yyy a file which content is a template where we can have each hostname , or create one file per nodes matching exemple /etc/hosts.allow sshd: host1 sshd: host2 ... or /etc/backuppc/host1 /etc/backuppc/host2 ... from the docs it seems i can collect only ALL

Hello, I have two Vmware images, with 256MB of RAM memory each one, running puppetmasterd for the server and puppetd for the client. It''s normal that my puppetmasterd and puppetd occupies almost 10% of RAM memory each one? They aren''t doing anything especial, just listening on the ports. Thanks.

I''m a little confused by the configuration reference. Is the following configuration supposed to work in 0.23.2? # $Id$ 2 3 [main] 4 confdir = <%= confdir %> 5 vardir = <%= vardir %> 6 7 rundir = /var/run 8 logdir = /var/log 9 10 ssldir = $vardir/ssl 11 12 [puppetmasterd] 13 manifestdir = $vardir/manifests 14

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to parse individual manifest files as part of a pre-commit hook in subversion. I am looking for something like puppetmasterd --parseonly, but that will work on individual files. This way I can reject a commit if it does not pass. Any ideas? TIA

I forgot to mention this in my announcement yesterday. Puppet facts are no longer downcased in the language, and string comparisons now default to being case-insensitive. Where your operating system might previously have been ''solaris'' or ''debian'', it is now ''Solaris'' or ''Debian''. However, you can still do comparisons

I was wondering how to trigger a configration run remotely. Is this possible? Looking through the docs, I see mention that puppet can listen on port 8139, but I don''t see that this is the case on my servers. Can someone please enlighten me as to the proper method of doing this, if it can indeed be done? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I''m using a svn pre-commit hook to check manifests for syntax errors. I''ve recently upgraded puppet from 0.22.4 to 0.23.2 and the hook stopped working. I use the following command to parse .pp files: /usr/local/bin/puppet --confdir=/tmp --vardir=/tmp --parseonly --ignoreimport /tmp/$$.pp Now, I make a decision based on the exit code. If 0 then commit, else exit

Greetings - I''ve just started testing Puppet and have a couple of questions: 1. Is there a way to dynamically change a configuraion file that is sent to nodes? For example, I want to modify /etc/hosts to have the hostname and ip address set dynamically - the hosts file shoule look like: 12.34.56.78 node1.example.com 22.35.66.99 server1.example.com But I don''t want to

I have the following test case: file { sendmail-conf: path => "/etc/mail/${fqdn}.mc", owner => "root", group => "wheel", mode => 0644, links => follow, source => "puppet:///sendmail/${hostname}.mc" } $mail_dir = "/etc/mail" $cf_dir = "/usr/share/sendmail/cf/" exec { build-conf: command => "/usr/bin/m4

Hello, I use some define in classes like class foo { define bar() {} } before in .22.4 i had require => Bar[''mybar''] on object and it worked. Now i have : err: Could not apply complete configuration: Could not retrieve dependency ''Shorewall-realize[shorewall.conf]'' at /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/shorewall.pp: for exemple. Do anyone knwo why it

The included patch is what I''ve been able to throw together in a few hours after studying the pkgtools code. All I''m using the library for at the moment is to resolve the proper base location of the ports tree, but at least by invoking make directly instead of through portupgrade it works *a lot* better. Is there a proper way to include/require a third party ruby library?

Are exec resources triggered by notify events supposed to be run once for every event received or only run once per run irregardless of the number of resources that notified it? It seems to me that it gets run twice no matter how many resources triggered it. consider the following class: class dhcp { $prefix = "/usr/local/etc/dhcpd" $dhcpd_conf = "$prefix/dhcpd.conf"

Hi, I have a little trickky thing i wanted to do with puppet, mainly this is configuring web host on servers.

I see someone else mentioned this below, but the answer was just "use &&", which isn''t what I''m looking for. I''m using acts_as_ferret in my web app, but if the user inputs certain symbols, like &, it kills his/her browser. I''m running everything locally on OS X. I had to reboot OS X because the crash was so bad. Is there a way to

Hey all, I haven''t heard much on the list in a while re: ActiveSearch, Ferret, Hyper Estraier, etc. in a while. Has anyone successfully used ActiveSearch on tables with rows in the order of hundreds of thousands, if not millions? (in our case, each row containing anywhere from a paragraph of text to many pages) Here''s some background on our search efforts. A. Hyper
