Puppet doesn't run a class, it applies a manifest. If you apply the manifest once, either with `puppet apply somefile.pp` or `puppet agent -t` without the agent running as a service, your catalog will be applied just once. If you want to keep running puppet in the future, have your node classifier return a different catalog without that class.
But, this kind of defeats the purpose of puppet. It has idempotency, so whether you apply a catalog with that class once or a thousand times, your results should always be the same. If it's not, you may be relying on Execs too much over other resource types that are better suited to your needs.
