There's nothing inherent in puppet, besides the 'splay' options. The other common solution is to use the $rand_from_fqdn custom Fact pattern. That said puppet nodes typically won't know of the existence/ state of other nodes. > So I ideally would like some kind of puppet mechanism that says, > "run this script... but only if there are less than 10 other machines > doing the same thing at this particular moment)" I think this is a different tool, which I use mcollective for. Capturing registration metadata is pretty simple, see R.Is suggestion. For orchestrating concurrent actions look at 'mc-puppetd runall' for an example. It runs puppetd on all of the available nodes with a specified concurrency. Writing your own version of that plugin should be trivial. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
