Hi, there are agent options in puppet.conf that control how often the agent runs etc.
Check whether the agent puts any messages into your syslog. Find the agent process in the system's list of running processes. You could try and run the agent in debug mode to see if anything goes wrong. Stop the service, then run puppet agent --no-daemonize --verbose --debug HTH, Felix On 04/06/2013 12:38 AM, Sy Doveton wrote: > I am new to puppet and am experimenting with some basic commands.
