I've got a test compile script which runs over all our hosts and ensures that the manifests compile for each. I run this before committing to version control (will eventually run this as a pre-commit hook). The command for a single host looks something like: /usr/sbin/puppetmasterd --vardir=./vartmp/ --confdir=. --ssldir=./vartmp/ssl - --config=./puppet-testconfigs.conf --compile $hostname Note that I have to have a local "vartmp" directory to be able to write to as a non-root user. You can either check the output (redirect it?) or check the exit code. If the latter is not 0, then the compile failed. The good thing is, with this, you can run it as a non-root user (safe), and it's not actually being applied anywhere (excellent if you make some mistakes). - -- Craig Miskell Senior Systems Administrator Opus International Consultants Phone: +64 4 471 7209 Computer games don't affect kids.
