Re: [Puppet Users] Reload fact variable during run

Hi, Not from within puppet but there are external ways (ssh, MCollective ). From them you can schedule action. You can run puppet again (as compilation is done on the master not the client). The facts are sent to the master at the start of the run and puppet can't do anything with them

Re: [Puppet Users] Connection Timed Out updating node on 3g mobile broadband device

Interesting setup. Sometimes providers block uncommon ports. Can you get to 8140 over your 3/4g? If not, try running on 443 (change puppet.conf or apache ports). If none of these work check the docs for timeout settings (can't remember of hand). Den On 26/10/2012, at 3:55, Steve

While Craig maybe right, are you sure it's not a typo? Are you trying to find a file in the mymodule module or in nginx module? Normally you would try to keep files required by a module in the module that calls them. Den On 09/10/2012, at 5:11, Craig White craig.wh...@ttiltd.com wrote:

Re: [Puppet Users] Machines not using local mirror

Hi, Cobbler can put the desired repo in /etc/yum.repo.d - but I have in the past explicitly cleared that directory (from the cobbler post install (kickstart really)) and managed the repos via puppet only. First thing puppet did was install the right repo. It was the cleanest way I found.

filesystem! So your test would always pass. So maybe a format and touching a file in the hdfs would work? Sorry don't work with Hadoop any more so cant test. You can have a look at the following: https://github.com/denmat/hadoop_in_a_box That was last approach (can't remember how I did it off hand
