Disable polling interval

[Afroz Hussain]

I have created a script which restart the services . Since by default
the polling interval is 30 min, Hence it is getting restarted every 30
min.. Is there any away to force that script to run as per our
requirement.
In another word, How to stop that script to make any changes on the
agent without removing from nodes.pp

Thanks

You can always run puppet voluntarily when you need it badly with:

puppetd  --no-daemonize  --verbose

then kill this process after your work is done!

Are you using an exec resource to run the script? Why not let puppet keep running on its regular interval and use a cron resource to schedule the script as required?

Have you looked into using the 'schedule' type to prevent the restarts
from happening during business hours?
