Daniel Dreier commented on an issue   Re: Ability to run --onetime in the background while a daemon is idle In 2.7.25, you cannot do a one time run while the daemonized agent is running: [root@puppetagent ~]# puppet --version 2.7.25 [root@puppetagent ~]# killall puppet [root@puppetagent ~]# puppet agent --onetime --server=puppetmaster.boxnet [root@puppetagent ~]# puppet agent [root@puppetagent ~]# puppet agent --onetime --server=puppetmaster.boxnet Could not prepare for execution: Could not create PID file: /var/run/puppet/agent.pid [root@puppetagent ~]# On 3.4.2, a daemonized agent does not prevent one time execution.

Both of these tests were run against a 3.4.2 puppetmaster. Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-1319 Ability to run --onetime in the background while a daemon is idle When the puppetd daemon is running it has the pid file preventing other background daemons. When running --onetime --no-daemonize - a foreground run - this is fine, pid file doesnt prevent the --onetime run but if you wanted to do a backgrounded --onetime run the pid file will prevent that run from happening.
