Regarding Puppet Agent process on Agent Machine

[Satish Katuru]

Hi,

I linked both Master and Agent machines.But I am unable to see the Agent process on Agent machine.
Can we have the Agent process on the Agent machine?

I used below command to get the latest code

  puppet agent -t --waitforcert=60

When I Execute it every time it would take the code from master and deploy it on Agent machines.But how the agent machine looks for the latest code on Master machine for every 30 minutes?

Do we need to do any configuration settings?

and

How can i see the agent process on agent machine?

You are running the agent with the -t (--test) option, which implies several other options including --no-daemonize (but not --noop).  If you want to run the agent as a daemon then omit that option.  Rather than launching it manually, though, it would be better to launch it via its service management script, which should have been installed as part of the package (supposing you used a package, rather than a source install).  On many systems, the command would be "service puppet start".
