I've also gone for cron, but I really randomize it by running
puppetd from a wrapper script:
#!/bin/bash
RANDOM=$$$(date +%s)
d=$[ ( $RANDOM % 900 ) + 1 ]
sleep $d
/opt/sysadmin/bin/puppetd -t
I know it's not absolutely 100% random, but it's random enough
for this. The risk of course is that
That may be the problem - I call it by:
ipaddr = `facter ipaddress`.chomp

Ok - I'll try to make it as simple as I can...
***Modules***
We define 3 types of modules (its just our internal definition):
1. host type - this module is the only class that the node would have and
its it primary function of the host (e.g. you can't use more than one host
type module in one no
I also use cron, but I found using the IP address last bit as a more
effective way to "randomize" it.

Have you checked out the splay option?
Alternatively, I've since moved on from splay to use a cron job to run
puppetd. I have a meta package that pulls in puppet and drops in a root
cron job entry based on the mac address of the host's primary interface
during the post-install step of rpm.

Hello there
I've been advised to do modules instead of massive class files. Sounds
fine and based on http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ModuleOrganisation
i've got:

/etc/puppet
[r...@puppetbeta puppet]# find
.
./puppet.conf
./fileserver.conf

Hi,
Has anyone done this across multiple site, let's say, 13 sites, with a

Considering a load-balanced environment, it seems this might not be optimal.
Perhaps the puppetmaster need the ability to store the state information in a
database.

I have an existing puppet setup that works very well except for one
thing. Occasionally the puppetmaster is busy and the clients tend to
"bunch up". Then on the next client run they tend to "bunch up" again

I'm certain there must be an easy way to do this but I just can't figure
out how.
I'm looking for a way to execute a script *once* after a certain
operation (e.g. installing a package or a certain file) has occured. I
can make the exec 'require' the file or package but then it runs every

Hi Andrew
The issue is now logged with the steps to reproduce as:

I've run puppet server with storedconfig enable with no problem.
The mysql db were populated with puppet information successfully.
I'm not sure why the doc says it requires Rails 1.x also, or it is
puppetshow that is not updated to for Rails 2.x?

Hello Tim,
I ran into the same issue and Joshua suggested using an exec. It works
great. I may also change all my gem installs to use this since the
package provider also tries to install again if there's multiple
versions. Like with
capistrano (2.5.3, 2.1.0). <- can't tell 2.1.0 is installed.
Hello Joshua,
Thank you very much. I finally got around to trying this out and it
works nicely! But for some reason the unless grep didn't work. I had
