-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 My thoughts:
- - I would have it be a stand alone application, not an add-on to the primary puppet daemon. The reason for this is that many of us use puppet from cron instead of as a daemon for various reasons. - - I do have to wonder how this is much different that cobbling together the results of puppetlast (to get the nodes that have checked in) with some sort of parallel SSH solution (besides the fact that you're using the puppet certs instead of SSH keys). - - In general, people are going to have hybrid environments for one reason or another. The ability to add additional nodes to this list that can perhaps just use puppetrun for this functionality may be welcome. A little more below.

Should be pluggable so that you can add additional data sources with little effort.

This way people can either use Ruby or their programming language of choice. > Be able to invoke ralsh remotely for querying things (and for debug, > and one off tasks) - - Are there example use cases of this? It sounds useful, but my minimal ralsh experimentation didn't really prove to be greatly fruitful. > Be able to run shell commands for things that are one offs (emergency > security power down now) - - This comes back to the common framework. I'm going to want to be able to do this regardless of whether or not puppet is actually running. I may want to do this (or something like it) because puppet is hung for some reason.
