Oh, it works, but think of what you're having puppet do: By calling the
initscript and telling it to restart, it first has to "stop puppet",
i.e., send TERM to the agent process. So the agent is committing suicide
mid-run, taking the invocation of the initscript with it. Now nobody's
there to start puppet up again.
I've worked around this using exec { "echo service puppet restart | at
now+5min" } in the past, but this is quite the hack. Personally I have
found the cron model much more convenient that the long-running agent.
HTH,
