If you have a script on your master, say /tmp/coolscript.sh and during a puppet run you want the client to call out to the master and execute coolscript.sh then no. Puppet won't do that. Maybe here is a good place to start: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/agent_master_basic.html You can set up file and exec resources to first pull the script to the client and then run it. Something like: file {'/tmp/coolscript.sh': source => 'puppet:///<path> } exec {'exec_coolness': command => '/tmp/coolscript.sh', require => File[''/tmp/coolscript.sh'] } You can also perform different commands on the master during compile time for the client manifest. I'll leave you to your own investigations on that. http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/function.html#generate Cheers, Den -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
