Alex Elman commented on an issue   Re: service puppet ensure stopped kills off cron-run puppet with "Caught TERM; calling stop" We ran into this issue and there is a way you can use the service type to do arbitration of the daemon. For the puppet agent service: Pass false to the hasstatus parameter to bypass the SysV init status checking The status type will fall back to the pattern regexp which by default is the process name For the pattern parameter, anchor the string "puppet agent" (the mcollective initiated agent will have a onetime argument) It'll look something like this service { 'puppet': ensure => false, enable => false, pattern => 'puppet agent$', hasstatus => false, hasrestart => true, } An mcollective initiated agent will look something like this in the process list root 518 2.8 0.2 129896 43172 ? Ss 19:34 0:00 /usr/bin/ruby /usr/bin/puppet agent --onetime --daemonize true --verbose --splaylimit 300 --splay An organically daemonized agent might look like this root 28730 0.0 0.3 129956 43012 ? Ss Apr07 0:15 /usr/bin/ruby /usr/bin/puppet agent Adjust your pattern parameter accordingly. Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-1320 service puppet ensure stopped kills off cron-run puppet with "Caught TERM; calling stop" We have recently switched from puppet agent in daemon mode (for kick) to cron-run puppet with mcollective agent. However, I started noticing that puppet policies were being inconsistently applied across the hosts. It turns out that this policy is the problem: {noformat} service { 'puppet':         ensure => stopped,         enable => false...
