FAQ
Hi,

Is there a way of issuing a puppet kick to multiple hosts without
LDAP?

I see the puppet kick options suports this with "all" and "class" but
only with LDAP at present.

I have a number of hosts so specifying each host using it's FQDN is a
bit messy. I've tried using "--no-fqdn" but get:

"hostname was not match with the server certificate"

Everything works as expected when specifying --host <hostname>
multiple times.

Ideally I'd like to use a an input file with a list of hosts to kick.
Is there any way of achieving this without specifying each hosts FQDN
or moving to LDAP?

Thanks,

    I'd write a cheap wrapper script, substituting paths as required. I'm also not fussy about kicking sequentially.

    $ echo host1 >>/tmp/mail; echo host2 >>/tmp/mail
    $ cat /tmp/mail
    host1
    host2
    $ cat /tmp/km
    #!/bin/bash dir=/tmp
    for x in `cat $dir/$1`; do
    echo /usr/bin/puppet kick $x
    done
    $ /tmp/km mail
    /usr/bin/puppet kick host1
    /usr/bin/puppet kick host2

    Modify paths as necessary. Then each subsequent time you need only "km mail" to apply the boot.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Sudden;y dawned on me to to pipe an input file through xargs

    cat <list of servers> | xargs puppet kick

    I'll look at your method in more detail, thanks again.

    Cheers though, your method would be
