Thanks Bruce, very helpful!
Actually I needed to run it in the loop for several hosts (as a part
of testing exercise).
I ended up with combination of bash scripting and small line for the
defaults node that gets re-created for each test/host:
#puppet call with root-level manifest
rm -rfv $confdir/manifests/_tmp.pp
cp -v $confdir/manifests/site.pp $confdir/manifests/_tmp.pp
echo "node default inherits $hostname_override { \$hostname =
"$hostname_override" } " >> $confdir/manifests/_tmp.pp
puppet -dv --detailed-exitcodes --confdir=$confdir --vardir=$vardir
$confdir/manifests/_tmp.pp
Not most elegant but works ...
