Issue #4411 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.
Everyone, I added Randall, our UX ninja to the discussion. Randall, I am inclined to agree with these views: being able to run constantly seems like something of an exciting way to fail to me, and relatively unlikely to be of common value. IMO, compatible alternatives would be to use a string "always" where zero now works, or to have a separate option for this. ---------------------------------------- Bug #4411: runinterval=0 does not behave as expected https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4411 Author: Oliver Hookins Status: Re-opened Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: 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.
