If you're only ever going to be using e.g. 'puppet agent --test' or 'puppet apply foo.pp' on the command line, then you don't need puppet running as a daemon at all. Just stop the service, disable the init script, and you're good to go. -- Calvin Walton <[email protected]> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
