I don't know of a clean and easy way to kill a puppet daemon from it's own 
manifest without aborting at some midpoint and not generating a report.

I think a shutdown function that causes the daemon to exit after applying the 
manifest would be helpful.  Basically, like flipping on onetime from a manifest.

A use case for this is switching from daemon mode to running from cron.  
Pushing the kill signal into position with require doesn't feel right.
Or, removing servers from puppet's control while leaving them in a known state.

Presumably, the puppet service would be properly disabled in the same run, and 
the delayed shutdown would ensure everything that was supposed to happen did.
