Essentially it says "this step can't continue until this remote action, reschedule me later". Though that's conjecture... it may be quite different... but multi-node deployment and pushed-based actions are two seperate things, it is important to realize they are completely orthogonal.

I don't want to see new daemons injected or the model transmogrified to where people don't like it... it works because it is designed very well already, for sure. > > John > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-us...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com<puppet-users%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
