yep, we use a bash-version of this random time thing. You'll quickly notice that you need to randomize client check-in times to ease up some load on the master: if everyone requests their catalogs at the same time, your puppetmaster won't be able to survive around 100 clients (maybe even less). another option for this is to use marionette-collective to do the client scheduling for you. but if you want to start your setup small and simple, the run interval randomization is quite sufficient. >> > 2.

Here, puppet is run via Apache with the passenger module, so the service simply doesn't need any restarting at all (since the puppetmaster code is only interpreted when a request is made) -- Gabriel Filion -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
