Issue #4411 has been updated by Valdis Vitayaudom.
please note that http://linux.die.net/man/8/puppet.conf says ... boolean options are turned on and off with a slightly different syntax on the command line: $ puppetd --storeconfigs $ puppetd --no-storeconfigs The invocations above will enable and disable, respectively, the storage of the client configuration. ... The file follows INI-style formatting. Here is an example of a very simple puppet.conf file: [main] confdir = /private/puppet storeconfigs = true ... So one would think that the following in puppet.conf [agent] interval = 1 listen = true client = false would work behave the same way as $ puppet agent --no-client --listen --interval 1 in fact I had better luck in puppet.conf using [agent interval = 1 listen = true no-client = true where it only ran once except that I get the following error message in every startup err: Could not parse /etc/puppet/puppet.conf: Could not match line no-client = false at /etc/puppet/puppet.conf: no-client = false ---------------------------------------- Bug #4411: runinterval=0 does not behave as expected https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4411 Author: Oliver Hookins Status: Investigating Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 0.25.4 Keywords: Branch: Affected URL: Arguably "most" applications that can be configured to run periodically take a period of "0" to mean "don't run periodically". In Puppet's case, the value of runinterval is passed directly to the agent timer loop. Evidently, EventLoop::Timer is happy to fire off an event after 0 seconds have passed and thus runinterval=0 signifies "run constantly" which is not the expected nor desired behaviour (would *anyone* want this behaviour???). So I propose that a value of 0 should be taken to mean "disable the timed run loop". -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
