[Puppet Users] 0.24.8: puppetd --onetime and schedules?

2010-07-21 Thread Alan Sparks
I have a custom schedule to apply changes to various classes (e.g., "File { schedule => normal }"). This works fine for puppetd running as a daemon. However, I note that if I run puppetd with the --onetime option, it applies none of my actions. puppetd --test will apply them, and the normal pupp

[Puppet Users] 2.6, parameterized classes, external nodes

2010-07-21 Thread Alan Sparks
The release notes do not mention whether the external node classifier system now supports parameterized classes, and if so, what the syntax expected would be to use it. Is this supported? Also, the release notes indicate with respect to parameterized classes: "with the significant difference that

I've a tidy resource for /tmp under 0.24.8, which throws errors each run due to a socket file created by xfs under /tmp/.font-unix/. It's relatively harmless, but it fills the logs with error messages... /var/log/messages.4:Jan 31 04:01:34 vm03 puppetd[15362]: (//Node[vm03]/Tidy::Olderthan[/tmp]/

This is a sort of open-ended question, to find out if the concept is possible or has been done... I have used cfengine in the past to do assisted autorecovery of systems, by integrating Hobbit paging with cfrun. In those cases, I've added classes to cfengine rules to use dynamically-defined clas
