That's the naive approach, which won't work if there are no puppet runs at all on a host. Any host will only pick up configuation changes on a puppet run, so when I want to increase a host's puppet run frequency, I'd either have to invoke a puppet run manually or to wait for the next run according to the _old_ schedule.

Guaranteed, that's why our puppet cron job has a semi-random component. > I have an example using the hostname to create a random number and using > that to create a cron at [1]. but you could use a parameter there instead. We use the MAC address for that. Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
