I created this little batch file I put in cron.hourly (You can adapt to put in crontab to run on the hours you want it to):
########################################################## #!/bin/bash SERVER="--server URL.PUPPETMASTER.COM" FIRST=`echo $RANDOM%1800 | bc` sleep $FIRST /usr/sbin/puppetd --onetime --no-daemonize --logdest syslog $SERVER -- waitforcert 60 SECOND=$((1800-$FIRST+`echo $RANDOM%1800 | bc`)) sleep $SECOND /usr/sbin/puppetd --onetime --no-daemonize --logdest syslog $SERVER -- waitforcert 60 ########################################################## This runs randomly between 0-30 minutes, then after 30m, another random interval. So, it runs twice/hour randomly (to help with load spreading). YMMV....
