Re: [Puppet Users] randomize minute
Luc Suryo said:
Hello
I.m trying to get a 'static random' base on a node's ip address and
use that number as the minute for a crontab
so each node will get a number between and 59
The things is the number is generated by the puppet master and so all
node get the same value...
my current code :
random_minute = generate('/usr/bin/env', 'bash', '-c', 'host `uname
-n` | head -1 | awk \'{ print $4 }\' | awk -F . \'{ printf(%d\n,
($1+$2+$3+$4)%60); }\'')
So Im a lost what do i need to do so 'generate' used the node's IP and
not puppetmaster...
Did you perhaps want the fqdn_rand() function?
This gives a static random number based on the node's fqdn (not IP
like you asked for, but hopefully usable anyway).
I use it like this:
$minute1 = fqdn_rand(15)
$minute2 = 15+$minute1
$minute3 = 30+$minute1
$minute4 = 45+$minute1
cron { run puppet:
command = $puppetrun,
user= root,
minute = [ $minute1, $minute2, $minute3, $minute4 ],
require = File[$sysadmindir],
}
(from
https://gitorious.org/qtqa/sysadmin/blobs/master/puppet/modules/puppet/manifests/unix.pp
)
Only think I can't remember is if it returns an integer from 0 .. 14 or 0 .. 15

Re: [Puppet Users] dot in file path
dragonfly said:
I wish to have puppet copy a file to /etc/cron.hourly/ on target
machines, however when puppetmaster attempts to build the catalog it
complains about a syntax error in both nodes.pp as well as in the
manifest init.pp for this class. I have experimented with various
quotings as well as escaping the dot character with no success. Can
anyone shed light on a solution?
puppetmaster 2.6.2 on Debian Wheezy 6.0
Hello :)
There is no problem to put dots in a path:
file { /etc/cron.hourly/walk_the_dog:
source = puppet:///modules/dogwalker/walk_the_dog.cron,
}
Maybe you could show the actual code and syntax error?

Re: [Puppet Users] puppet server not responding

Re: [Puppet Users] exec not finding shell builtins/functions?
Greg Graf said:
Hello,
We're running 2.6 on Ubuntu 10.04 and here's what I'm seeing (simplified
test):
class cdtest {
exec {'cdtest': command = 'cd' }
}
# puppet agent --test
info: Caching catalog for servername
info: Applying configuration version '1280441519'
err: /Stage[main]/Cdtest/Exec[cdtest]/returns: change from notrun to 0
failed: Could not find command 'cd'
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.65 seconds
#
Any ideas on why this is failing? I am running into this with rvm as well
(since it is a function and not a binary).
Isn't this by design? Unless the puppet docs say that exec is always
run through a shell, then I wouldn't expect it to be.
In my manifests, if I want a shell, I explicitly use:
command = '/bin/sh -c some shell commands'

Re: [Puppet Users] ANNOUNCE: Puppet 2.6.0 - Final release!
James Turnbull said: The journey was long and arduous and many fell along the way but Puppet Labs is proud to announce the 2.6.0 release! Is anyone aware of an attempt to package up a complete (puppet + all prereqs) installer for Windows? Either official, or by someone in the community? And, asking from the other direction: would anyone else be interested in such a thing? I would be, because setting up puppet on Windows seems pretty tough right now. I also have no need for Ruby on my Windows boxes except for the usage of puppet. -- Rohan McGovern QA Engineer Qt Development Frameworks, Nokia -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

Re: [Puppet Users] dpkg in puppet returns 2 but at command line returns 0
ext Jon Choate said:
I have an exec defined as
exec {dpkg --configure -a:
path = /usr/bin:/bin,
user = root
}
puppet complains:
Exec[dpkg --configure -a]/returns: change from notrun to 0 failed: dpkg
--configure -a returned 2 instead of one of [0]
but when I run dpkg --configure -a outside puppet it returns 0.
Has anyone ever seen this before or have any insights?
The last time someone reported a problem like this on the mailing list,
it was because the command had to run a subcommand which was not in
PATH.
In particular, `dpkg --configure' runs postinst scripts for packages
and these might do absolutely anything... at the very least I would
expect that /usr/sbin and /sbin probably need to be in PATH too :-)

Re: [Puppet Users] multiple OS support conventions?

First on the hit list are likely to be Solaris 10 and Suse

I know a lot of people do support multiple OSes, just wondered
what sort of approach you've found works best?
I've been doing it like this, for an example module
named baselayout:
modules/baselayout/manifests/init.pp:
import *
class baselayout {
case $operatingsystem {
Darwin: { include baselayout::mac }
OpenSuSE: { include baselayout::suse }

}
modules/baselayout/manifests/mac.pp:
class baselayout::mac {
...
}
modules/baselayout/manifests/suse.pp:
class baselayout::suse {
...
}
... etc. I've just started, so there could be problems with this I
haven't hit yet.
