---------------------------------------- Feature #14061: Error handling during agent startup https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14061#change-61237 Author: Chris Price Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Chris Price Category: Target version: Telly Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: If you do the following: 1. Start an agent in daemon mode 2. Attempt to start a second agent in daemon mode without --verbose The second one will silently fail. If, during step two above, you add --verbose, you will get the following error message: err: Could not prepare for execution: Could not create PID file: /var/lib/puppet/run/agent.pid There are a couple of potential problems here. 1. The error message could probably be more clear. 2. It seems wrong that the error message doesn't get printed w/o --verbose. The argument here may be that since we're running a daemon, it shouldn't have any output. I think I would argue that if the daemon fails to start then we should make an exception, but I'm not entirely sure. I know that we're not supposed to leave tickets in "Unreviewed", but I'd like to get someone else's opinion on this. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
