I probably waste quite a bit of time each week restarting the puppet client,
and logging systems, and tailing the messages file, to see if my puppet
changes worked. Is there a better way? How do people normally do this?

Sure, I can use puppetrun or mcollective to cause puppet to do a config run
on the client, but I still need to log in and look at the messages file. The
reports that the clients generate, and which are available on the server
contain, I believe yield enough information to determine if there was any
syntax errors or not. I guess they contain more, but, even though they are
yaml files, they contain ruby objects, which non ruby parsers won't read.
Would have been nice if it was standard yaml.

Anyway.... ideas?

Doug.
