Thanks for the report; I created a pull request to clarify this documentation. https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1209 ---------------------------------------- Bug #16768: puppet --no-client ignore SIGUSR1 https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16768#change-72747 Author: Fabrice Bacchella Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review Priority: Normal Assignee: eric sorenson Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 3.0.0 Keywords: errors Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1209 When I run puppet with : `puppet agent --daemonize --listen` and then `pkill -SIGUSR1 -f /usr/bin/puppet` I get that in the log files : <pre> Oct 3 23:25:38 fe4 puppet-agent[30816]: Caught USR1; calling reload Oct 3 23:25:53 fe4 puppet-agent[30816]: Finished catalog run in 9.24 seconds </pre> But with : `puppet agent --daemonize --listen --no-client` I only get : <pre> Oct 3 23:28:47 fe4 puppet-agent[32198]: Caught USR1; calling reload Oct 3 23:29:21 fe4 puppet-agent[32198]: Caught USR1; calling reload </pre> So it seems that --no-client disable the SIGUSR1 handler. In the manual <pre> puppet help agent * --no-client: Do not create a config client. This will cause the daemon to run without ever checking for its configuration automatically, and only makes sense when puppet agent is being run with listen = true in puppet.conf or was started with the `--listen` option. ... * SIGUSR1: Immediately retrieve and apply configurations from the puppet master. </pre> So either it should be explained in the document or either SIGUSR1 should still be running with no-client. I vote for the second solution, as no-client talks about "checking for its configuration automatically". SIGUSR1 is not something automatic.
