Puppet 3.4.2 OS X

[Jason Hatman]

I have my Puppet installation up and running, but I currently just run "puppet agent --test" to use it.  As I understand it, in a master/agent configuration, Puppet automatically runs every 30 minutes by default as long as the service is running.

 With Puppet 3.4.2 on OS X, is there still a need to manually create the launch daemon with the instructions below?  Is that included as part of the OS X install of Puppet 3.4.2.  I'm fine with manually creating it, I just want to make sure that I'm not wasting time on it.

I am pretty sure you still need to setup the launch daemon manually on OS X.

Hi Jason,

Pete is correct. The OSX puppet package does not ship with a launchd
plist. That example appears mostly up-to-date, with the notable
exception RUBYLIB (in 3.4.0 puppet moved to /Library/Ruby/Site for
compatibility with Mavericks) and the ServiceDescription and
ServiceIPC keys that don't exist in launchd on more recent versions of
OSX.
