Currently there isn't a user-friendly way of checking the Puppet service status without manually inspecting the PID / Lock file from the agent. Previously there was the ability to check the status of the Master by using the now deprecated *Puppet Status* command: *[https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/man/status.html]*
Would like to have a command that would allow a user to check the status of the Puppet service running on an agent. Ideally the command would do two things: # If the service is disabled: check for the disabled lock file and report that status and lock file # if the service is running check for the running lock file and report that status back and lock file
