Issue #16907 has been updated by Josh Cooper.

Description updated
Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs More Information
Priority changed from High to Normal

Hi Sandra, the prerun & postrun commands are intended to be executed on the 
agent before/after it retrieves and applies a catalog. It sounds like you're 
wanting something to execute on the server, in which case, you may want to use 
a function instead. On 2.7.x, I see the prerun command being executed correctly:

<pre>
$ puppet agent --no-daemonize --listen --debug --prerun_command=/usr/bin/false 
--noop --server sirrus
...
notice: Starting Puppet client version 2.7.19
debug: Using cached certificate for ca
debug: Using cached certificate for sirrus
debug: Using cached certificate for ca
debug: Using cached certificate_revocation_list for ca
debug: Executing '/usr/bin/false'
err: Could not run command from prerun_command: Execution of '/usr/bin/false' 
returned 1: 
</pre>

Bug #16907: prerun_command option in puppet.conf doesn't work

If I use puppet.conf as

<pre>
[main]
    logdir = /var/log/puppet
    rundir = /var/run/puppet
    ssldir = $vardir/ssl
[agent]
    classfile = $vardir/classes.txt
    localconfig = $vardir/localconfig
prerun_command = /bin/false
</pre>

or

<pre>
[main]
    logdir = /var/log/puppet
    rundir = /var/run/puppet
    ssldir = $vardir/ssl
prerun_command = /bin/false
[agent]
    classfile = $vardir/classes.txt
    localconfig = $vardir/localconfig
</pre>

and then on a node do

<pre>
puppet agent --listen --test --noop
</pre>

then it doesn't fail, as I would have expected.

My purpose for this is to execute a script on the puppetmaster everytime a node 
tries to connect.
