Here's what we do.
In sites.pp, we have this as the first line:
import "schedules"
This is /etc/puppet/manifests/schedules.pp:
schedule { never:
period => never,
repeat => 0
}
Then, back in sites.pp, we set a global default for files to use the
"never" schedule:
# Set global defaults
File { schedule => "never" }
You can do this for all resource types if you like. Next, in our
puppet.conf on all systems, we added this, just so puppetd doesn't try to
connect pack to the puppet server every 30 minutes just to do nothing:
runinterval = 31536000
That's 10 years, so puppetd will run once when it starts up (but not do
anything because of the default schedule), but then pretty much never check
back in on its own. This is actually a hold-over from when we were using
puppetrun, but since we're using puppetd with "--onetime --no-daemonize"
it's not really required anymore.
In order to make puppetd execute, we use --ignoreschedules on the command
line when running puppetd manually with --onetime. We feel it's a pretty
good fail-safe, since a new admin who didn't know our setup probably
wouldn't think to use --ignoreschedules by default.
Hope this helps :)
