similar to: Crontab overwritten by Puppet

Hi guys, I have a box that needs to identify itself to the puppetmaster as something different from the FQDN. I added certname to the agent configuration before the first run, but it doesn''t seem to be sufficient. The certificate was generated for the FQDN, and the host appears in the dashboard as the FQDN, and the node name used to evaluate the manifest is also the FQDN. I would

What seems to be an easy thing to do as to install a library into scratchbox is being something difficult to debug. The command "/scratchbox/moz_scratchbox -p apt-get --yes --force-yes install libhildonfm2-dev" can be run in a linux vm with the account "cltbld" without any problems but when I try to test it from this same slave (I remove first the package) or any other slave

Hello, I am testing some schedule configurations and was wondering if I can use the schedule type in my own defines? As far as I can claim from my own tests, this is not possible? For example, the schedule "morning" does not work with my self-written define "my_crontab": ######################################### class crontab { schedule {"morning":

Hello, I''m running Puppet 2.7.6 and currently expanding the number of servers managed by Puppet. At around the 160-170 host mark (with a 5-minute run interval + splay), my puppetmaster server is starting to die. Is this normal? What I''m getting in the agent logs is the following: Wed Jun 20 12:15:08 +0200 2012 Puppet (debug): Failed to load library

I have following trouble on x86_64 machines. On i686 machines all ok.

Hi, I also met an error in crontabs: Could not prefetch "NilClass"rovider crontab: undefined method `each'' for nil:NilClass this is on freeBSD. 0.22.4 was working fine on the very same host. Any idea ? The crontab binary is there but it seems puppet does not find the right provider in this version ? -- Cordialement, Ghislain

I want to manage cronjobs as a " file " in solaris through puppet and not using the puppet cron resource. I will be managing the file /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root. I want the cron file to be same across all servers except some servers will have additional cron entries. How can I append to the file /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root , something like appendifnosuchline in cfengine? Can

Hi All, In my set-up, I''ve got a cron job that triggers a Puppet run every 20 minutes. I''ve found that on approximately 13 nodes (out of 166), puppetd just hangs. I have to go in, kill the process, remove /var/lib/puppet/state/puppetdlock, and run puppet again and then it''s fine. After a while, it just hangs again so I have to go in, kill the process, etc. Any ideas?

hi, How can I open crontab with gedit any any other editor ? i want to edit my cron jobs with other editors beside vi.

Almost 4-5% of the total number of nodes are not receiving catalog from the master on an hourly run. We have about 250 nodes. The nodes that are receiving this error are rather random. The hourly cron happens almost at the same time. Is there any configuration changes for Puppet that can be done to avoid this ? Puppet (err): Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: execution expired

The docs to installing cfengine refers to /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root That doesn't exist. Nor does /etc/crontab. Heck I remember that from the "old days", now there are lots of cron entries, in /etc but no crontab. Not installed by default. So, I'm hunting that one down. Nate, what did you wind up doing??

Did you restart the crontab service after the change ? If not, crontab wont be aware of the changes. Nassri > rado wrote: > > for some reason, crontab is not picking up a job here > listed.

Hi, I have to setup a scheduled task on a server, and I just read through some crontab docs. Now I'm confused. It's not so much the syntax of the cron job to define (I got that), it's more... how do I get to define it? Use a text editor (vi or the likes) to edit /etc/crontab directly? Or create some empty file in /etc/cron.daily or /etc/cron.hourly or the likes and then edit it
