I used to have issues with the agent leaking memory over time. This is going back to 2.6 days. I implemented a cron job back then to restart the agent every night and never removed the job (even though I'm now running 3.6), so I don't know if there are still memory issues with the agent daemon.
If you were aiming for a smaller resource footprint on the server, the cron route would likely be better as it's one less daemon running 24-7 on each node. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
