Issue #4411 has been updated by Nigel Kersten. Project changed from Puppet Documentation to Puppet Status changed from Closed to Accepted
My apologies, this was mistakenly closed as part of trying to bring some sanity to the puppet-docs bug project. Moving to the puppet project, as this isn't just a documentation bug, and we'll document the new behavior when it's resolved. ---------------------------------------- Bug #4411: runinterval=0 does not behave as expected https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4411#change-88143 * Author: Oliver Hookins * Status: Accepted * Priority: Normal * Assignee: eric sorenson * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- 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.
