[Puppet Users] puppet push mode

you have to use --no-client on the command line when running puppetd. I've set it up in my /etc/sysconfig/puppet file on CentOS so it's pulled in as part of PUPPET_EXTRAOPTS. On Wed, Oct 6, 2010 at 3:09 PM, Mohamed Lrhazi wrote: > On Wed, Oct 6, 2010 at 9:01 AM, James Louis

My experience is having "listen = true" in the puppet conf and starting the client with --no-client does prevent the puppet pull. This works for me so that I can issue a puppet kick on the server to only serve changes when I want to. On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 2:54 PM, Nan Liu wrote: > On Tue, Feb
