Patrick, could you elaborate on that? Because --test is what we are using constantly here. I believe it's a tip from "Pulling strings with puppet". >From what I gathered, it's the standard way to enforce a run while puppet is also running in daemon mode, which is quite exactly what Mohammed needs. So what are the catches to be wary of? Thanks in advance, Felix -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
