Yep, if you're shelling out or executing 'puppet' without the daemon, in memory caching doesn't work. (But how slow are we really?) Cache dir would be simple though... You could simply stat the file and see when the last fact storage run happened, and each module could set (or not set) a timeout on a case-by-case basis. No timeout would mean don't cache, so it would automatically work with any existing facts, and the facts wouldn't have to implement the caching themselves. Things like OS version are inexpensive but wouldn't have to be checked too frequently, I'd bet :) --Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
