Well, we have an Apache/Tomcat setup which serves 50+ sites total, a part of which is production and the other testing. Right now we have tools on Apache which handles upgrades for one particular site. What we want to do is having puppet manage all this instead. We have trouble enough writing the modules to begin with and I admit I have never looked at MCollective, though I do know the name :p -- Francis Galiegue ONE2TEAM Ingénieur système Mob : +33 (0) 683 877 875 Tel : +33 (0) 178 945 552 [email protected] 40 avenue Raymond Poincaré 75116 Paris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
