Munna,
Here is a typical module tree:
xinetd/
|-- manifests
| `-- init.pp
`-- templates
I chose this module as my "pattern" for you to look at because it is a very
simple module.
In your case I'd be creating
puppetcron/
`-- manifests
with a single file "init.pp" with a single class:
class puppetcron {
cron { run-my-puppet-agent:
minute => "1,31",
command => "/usr/sbin/puppet agent --test"
}
}
Modify the minute parameter for how often you want cron to execute puppet.
Or add hour, day or whatever to suit your installation.
Of course you going to have to run the agent manually on each host to
"jumpstart" this process, but there ya have it.
One thought:
If you are running out of cron you run the risk of multiple client systems
accessing your puppet master all at once. This can become a scaling issue.
My advice is to just execute "puppet agent" on bootup (or manually) on each
machine and let them figure out when to talk to the master.
