Setting runinterval=0 in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf causes continuous pulls, not no pulls. I'm trying to arrange puppet so that it will listen for puppetrun calls, but never pull without one.

Run puppetd with --no-client option and it will just wait for the master to initiate an update.

From man puppetd:

no-client: Do not create a config client. This will cause the daemon
           to run without ever checking for its configuration automatically,
           and only makes sense when used in conjunction with --listen.

Just run puppetd with the --onetime option, and don't start it from init.d or cron.

  • This doesn't seem to preserve the ability to use puppetrun from the server to deliver pushes. – Zed Jan 14 '10 at 16:47
  • As an additional note, setting runinterval to an absurdly huge number (say, ten years worth) works for preventing pulls after the daemon is running, but a pull will still always be started as the daemon starts. If there's any way to just prevent that initial run, that would probably solve my problem as well. – Zed Jan 14 '10 at 16:49
