Hi,
Add
set -x
in the second line.

This will run you script in verbose mode and see what happen.

Hope it helps

Best regards

Ah ha! The problem was --autosign is a bit more than just a boolean arg so you have to explicitly say true or false.

#!/bin/bash

puppet master --mkusers --autosign true --verbose --no-daemonize

Using the args I had originally causes it to appear to hang, but you can still get catalogs from it with an agent so it actually just oddly silences output.

Wow, that was a confusing waste of time.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

Oh right, it's just gobbling up the --verbose argument as the auth.conf path. Running it like this:

sudo puppet master --mkusers --verbose --no-daemonize --autosign

Produces the informative error:

Could not parse options: missing argument: --autosign

<insert obvious exclamation about not using autosign ever here> ;-)

Ya ya.

I'm just running it on my home net to init master (--mkusers) and my server (--autosign). Then run master normally after that. Removes a step.
