HP-UX Puppet Init Script !!

[Rakesh Kathpal]

Hi,

I have been successfully able to install puppet on hu-ux, all I am looking is to run puppet agent from this server.

Can someone please help me with the init script for puppet agent on HP-UX ??

It would be great if you have one, else if you can point me to the correct directions for creating one.

Thanks,

Rakesh K

Hi Rakesh,

Might I suggest not running puppet as a service at all and instead
running it from cron. Doing so provides some more flexibility and helps
protect against memory leaks.

My module[1] for managing puppet would likely work for you with minimal
modification. Would be glad to work with you on it to support HP-UX.

A puppet init script would essentially be:

case $1 in

start)

  echo "Starting puppet agent"

  puppet agent --verbose

  ;;

stop)

  echo "Stopping puppet agent"

  kill `cat /var/run/puppet/agent.pid`

  ;;

esac

To make it work on HP-UX, copy the init script into /sbin/init.d, then create sym-links in /sbin/rc2.d/S99puppet and /sbin/rc0.d/K01puppet that point to it.
