Re: [Puppet Users] Running a daemon only during certain hours of the day

I am not necessarily condoning this, but puppet has a schedule metaparameter that can control when a resource may be managed. That would solve half the problem. You could probably manage it in the other state using the same trick, but you have to trick puppet by giving the resource another name.

Hi Peter, Your instinct is correct. Just like many programming languages that allow you to keep all of your code in one file (or one function, even), it's not a good idea. As you mentioned, you can use import to pull in other files, but the better solution is to use puppet's autoloading
