Here is how we resolved this problem (although we are now running puppet
through cron). By issuing the HUP puppet will restart, but not until the
run has completed. This is largely for bootstrapping or when the machine
environment changes.
If your running puppetd change 'puppet agent' to 'puppetd'. At least if
for the releases you listed, I would move away from running daemonized
puppet unless theres a special requirement/reason, and stick it in a cron
instead.
== Begin CopyPasta ==
exec { "restart-puppet":
command => "ps -ef | grep 'puppet agent' | grep -v grep | awk {'print \$2'}
| xargs -iXX echo kill -HUP XX | sh",
path => "/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin",
refreshonly=>true
}
file { "/etc/puppet/puppet.conf":
notify => Exec["restart-puppet"]
}
== End CopyPasta ==
