Although the idea is cool and I'd love to see the module once you have created it, I doubt this is something you really want to do with puppet. I see puppet more as a "this is what my machine should look like" kinda tool. Pushing data for several hours really shouldn't be part of that, I think. I can imagine it triggering a script in the background that fetches like the daily backup from a server and builds the slave the next time puppet runs and it detects the download being completed, though. But that would still give you puppet errors for several hours (dependencies not being satisfied), which would indicate to me it's not the right tool for the job. But maybe that's just me. -- Kind regards, Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
