Every class also creates a tag of the same name, so for instance lets say apache croaks for whatever reason, and you have a class for apache that says the service aught to be running, you'd just do "puppetrun -t apache" and presto.
There are a couple of other options for puppetrun you might find useful, I suggest you take a glance at that manual page for it, some useful examples in there too. .r' --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
