At the time I put together that recipe, I didn't particularly expect puppet to die randomly, but I knew there was a similar practice for cfengine users. And though I wouldn't *expect* any of those other services to die randomly, I'd certainly monitor all of them with Nagios and write puppet manifests to restart them if they're found to be not running. I have had some puppetd's die and get restarted from cron. On the few dozen systems I have with puppetd, I don't think it happens even once per day for the entire group. -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- ren...@tntech.edu --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
