I don't think it's issue #5752, I opened that issue and provided a patch to resolve it. When I build new versions of Puppet for my Solaris hosts I apply that patch each time via my build script and I'm still having some hosts where the crontab gets "eaten" and it always seems to correspond with 'prtdiag' issues or timeouts.
Facter has a timeout built in for prtdiag and then does a kill routine if it needs to clean up. I wonder if it's being overly agressive and accidentally killing some or all of the Puppet run in turn causing this issue? -Kent On Mar 13, 5:31 pm, Greg <greg.b...@gmail.com> wrote: > Have seen similar.
