I would like to know why you do it too. I've needed to do that because: 1a) This bug http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3561 1b) Sets options in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf 2) Full run (Will be much shorter because lots of stuff was already done in the first run) 3) One last chance just in case something didn't work, timed out, or I forgot a require. (Finishes in seconds for me) Also, I'd advise running puppet with "--verbose --debug" and then logging the output somewhere. Mostly because if the second run doesn't work, you can see it and have a chance at fixing it.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
