There are a couple of ways:
If your clients run puppetd in daemon mode, then look in the client
configuration file at:
splay = true
splaylimit = 1800
We run our puppet clients as a wrapper from cron and make use of the
function which randomises a number based on fqdn (and other options if you
want)
cron {"puppet client hourly noop":
user => root,
minute => fqdn_rand(60, "noop"),
command => "puppet_wrapper_script.sh",
}
Regards
John
