Well, I see where you're coming from, but I see all flags as commands given to the program meaning you're telling puppet to do that thing. So, "--no-daemonize" tells puppet not to daemonize. In this case, I'd expect "watch" to tell puppet to watch something. I really think this is a bad choice of words. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
