Run puppet agent via cron. Add in a random delay so that all the clients don't hit the server at the same time. I use the following script and set to run every 30 minutes:
#!/bin/bash # Grab a random value between 0-1740 (29 minutes). value=$RANDOM while [ $value -gt 1740 ] ; do value=$RANDOM done # Sleep for that time. sleep $value # do puppet run /usr/bin/puppet agent -t On Tuesday, December 11, 2012 11:19:51 PM UTC-5, kdo wrote: > > anyone have any smart ideas around scheduling puppet client runs during > specific times ? such as outside of office hours ? > > any options that can be set in the puppet.conf for example ? > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
