Hi all. I am using the puppetrun to apply a manifest with each puppetd host. Puppetrun exits before completion of applying a manifest as usual. But sometimes it will not exit and stay foreground. Do you have any idea that puppetrun will exit normally. [Environment] Puppetmasterd -version : 0.2

It's worth reading the ext/rack stuff on how to set up passenger. You don't necessarily need to use the example manifests there to set up Passenger, but we should all be capable of reading puppet manifests to work out what actually needs to be done. http://github.com/reductivelabs/puppet/tree/0.2
