I'm not quite sure what you mean. My puppet.conf is a templated config file and I copy it in place using puppet during the first run. > 2) Full run (Will be much shorter because lots of stuff was already done in > the first run) > 3) One last chance just in case something didn't work, timed out, or I forgot > a require.

But because of the randomness, I don't always discover missing requires during testing. I do look over the log file though and if the last run did something, I can then look into it and fix it. It theory this might mean I need more testing. In practice, the order randomization makes it impossible to ever be sure there are no missing requires that will cause a run to fail. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
