The agent enable/disable is documented in the output of 'puppet help agent' as well as here:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/man/agent.html Your output of 'puppet agent --server=puppet --test --noop' shows that you have a 'puppetdlock' file (in /var/lib/puppet/state by default), but that puppet is interpreting the lock file's presence as a run in progress. If there is no run in progress when you disable the agent, then you should be seeing this output when you try to run puppet (with version 2.6+) : notice: Skipping run of Puppet configuration client; administratively disabled; use 'puppet agent --enable' to re-enable. If you try 'puppet agent --enable' does the puppetdlock file disappear from this location? It should. -- Peter On Jul 30, 2012, at 12:23 PM, Hai Tao wrote: > This makes sense and is interesting.
