[Puppet Users] run module although with time condition, but also possibilty execute even so not in that time frame

Hi, I need an idea to write modules that have a time condition, so software should only be installed between 1 and 2 o'clock. But in special situations I need to run the software installation right now and can not wait for the time frame. Here is my idea for the time frame condition. Is that

[Puppet Users] Exec type's 'onlyif' and 'unless' commands run even with --noop

Hello, I have noticed that commands specified in 'onlyif' and 'unless' parameters of the Exec type are always executed, even if --noop option is given on command line or the resource's noop parameter is set to true. For example, the following block always creates /tmp/onlyif and /tmp/unless.

We've disabled yum-updatesd on our nodes. Thanks John, Further investigation has shown that after any package update/install, yum automatically runs the following command… /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum --security check-update I'm curious if this is the issue. Either way, it's odd that that the

Hi, Ramin - you are correct. I got down to this path when I decided to follow this pattern. It turns out that it became overkill. In regards to hiera, that's also exactly what I was looking at. I knew I'd be nuts if I had to differentiate for each DC. Not clever whatsoever. I thought about facts

I'm having a similar problem. I know for a fact that I am not contending with other agents, because this is in a lab environment and none of my agents is scheduled for periodic runs (yet). I have successfully run puppet agent -t first time, signed the cert, and run it a second time to pull ove
