Issue #6912 has been updated by Ben Hughes.

Status changed from Unreviewed to Accepted

Thank you for the steps to repeat!

Is this any more harmful than killing puppet as it runs I wonder. Both would 
leave the run in some unfinished state.

Maintaining disable status even if puppet is running is definitely something 
that should happen. I imagine we could just check the contents of the lockfile 
before we remove it, to see if it has changed to disabled, even if we don't act 
on it mid run.

Bug #6912: puppetd --disable doesn't disable if run while puppet is executing
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6912

Author: Robert Coli
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.7
Keywords: 
Branch: 


1) run puppetd -t on a host
2) while 1) is running, do puppetd --disable
3) once 1) completes, run puppetd -t again
4) notice that puppet has not been disabled

My understanding of the underlying issue here is that the same lock file is 
used to indicate "running" and "disabled". It seems somewhat likely that a fix 
would therefore including a new lock file or other lock mechanism to allow 
--disable to work predictably. In an environment where puppet runs randomly 
stqggered, the ability to reliably disable it even if a node happens to be 
running at that time would be valuable.
