Having some issues disabling puppet. I want to use scripts to update RPM's, and obviously you need to quiesce puppet first.
The pid file directory is empty: [pax] app01 ~:# ls -l /var/run/puppet/ total 0 Puppet is stopped: [pax] app01 ~:# service puppet status puppetd is stopped Really really stopped: [pax] app01 ~:# ps -ef | grep puppet root 13079 7958 0 21:27 pts/0 00:00:00 grep puppet So, I start puppet: [pax] app01 ~:# service puppet start Starting puppet: [ OK ] The pid file exists, and it's pid matches the running puppet: [pax] app01 ~:# cat /var/run/puppet/agent.pid 13612 [pax] app01 ~:# ps -ef | grep puppet root 13612 1 22 21:28 ? 00:00:08 /usr/bin/ruby /usr/sbin/puppetd root 13978 7958 0 21:28 pts/0 00:00:00 grep puppet And, then I try and disable puppet: [pax] app01 ~:# puppetd disable Could not prepare for execution: Could not create PID file: /var/run/puppet/agent.pid What's up with that? This is puppet 2.6.1. Doug. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. To post to this group, send email to puppet-us...@googlegroups.com.
