I don't understand your issue with mcollective. You have an orchestration issue but don't want to use the puppet-ecosystem orchestration tool? This is the part that confuses me, especially since this won't be your last orchestration requirement. Speaking from ignorance, maybe look into exported resources and have the slow services export something. http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/exported_resources.html > I don't want some external process to repeatedly kick puppet repeatedly until > the dependency is resolved and the reliant service can be configured > > I'm imagining something like a semaphore, puppet sleeps and wakes up when the > semaphore is flipped (the slow resource is available) > > Sorry if this is a dumb question, first post etc ... > > Thanks > > Dave > -- > This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended > solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed. > If you have received this email in error please notify the system manager. > This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the > individual named.
