Reg: Calling the sleep method

[Raghu Ram Baisani]

Hi Team

If I put:

$mainttime_converted = 100

exec{ 'maintenance_time':

  try_sleep => $mainttime_converted

 }

will this be in sleep state for 100 seconds?

Thanks

Hello,

No. The try_sleep parameter defines the time to sleep between tries. The default value of tries is 1.

What are you trying to achieve?

Hello 

Puts the machines into maintenance mode.

I want to execute sleep for 1 hour.

Revert the machines from maintenance mode.

Thanks

Raghuram

Hi Raghu, 

Using exec is not a great way to put machines into maintenance mode. Some other ideas for you to look at: 

1/ Use the schedule resource, and schedule meta-parameter, to define the times of day for which puppet should enforce referenced resources. https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/6.18/types/schedule.html

2/ Use a bolt / puppet task to disable the puppet agent at the start of the maintenance, and revert after

Cheers

Jesse
