Hi
The reasoning I am trying to corral this is as follows.
We have two databases one here and the other in Europe replicating. There is one large table over 8 mil rows that has fallen way behind and because of the connectivity issues doing inserts directly into a staging table seems easier.
Anyway every day I kick off an insert statement but can't continually monitor the progress. What I wanted to do thru the cron was determine if that statement was still running every 4 hours. If it was running then do nothing. If it wasn't running then kick the job off again.
This is what I was trying to accomplish with this script. I am new at this and reading every night about this scripting.
This script would make my life easier at work because I actually have 3 other locations that needs this support.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Al

puppet-kick
PUPPET-KICK(8) Puppet manual PUPPET-KICK(8)
NAME
puppet-kick - Remotely control puppet agent
SYNOPSIS
Trigger a puppet agent run on a set of hosts.
USAGE
puppet kick [-a|--all] [-c|--class class] [-d|--debug] [-f|--foreground] [-h|--help] [--host host] [--no-fqdn] [--ignoreschedules]
[-t|--tag tag] [--test] [-p|--ping] host [host [...]]
DESCRIPTION
This script can be used to connect to a set of machines running 'puppet agent' and trigger them to run their configurations. The most com-
mon usage would be to specify a class of hosts and a set of tags, and 'puppet kick' would look up in LDAP all of the hosts matching that
class, then connect to each host and trigger a run of all of the objects with the specified tags.
If you are not storing your host configurations in LDAP, you can specify hosts manually.
You will most likely have to run 'puppet kick' as root to get access to the SSL certificates.
'puppet kick' reads 'puppet master''s configuration file, so that it can copy things like LDAP settings.
USAGE NOTES
Puppet kick needs the puppet agent on the target machine to be running as a daemon, be configured to listen for incoming network connec-
tions, and have an appropriate security configuration.
The specific changes required are:
o Set listen = true in the agent's puppet.conf file (or --listen on the command line)
o Configure the node's firewall to allow incoming connections on port 8139
o Insert the following stanza at the top of the node's auth.conf file:
# Allow puppet kick access
path /run
method save
auth any
allow workstation.example.com
This example would allow the machine workstation.example.com to trigger a Puppet run; adjust the "allow" directive to suit your site. You
may also use allow * to allow anyone to trigger a Puppet run, but that makes it possible to interfere with your site by triggering exces-
sive Puppet runs.
See http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/rest_auth_conf.html for more details about security settings.
OPTIONS
Note that any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument. For example, 'ssldir' is a
valid configuration parameter, so you can specify '--ssldir directory' as an argument.
See the configuration file documentation at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/configuration.html for the full list of acceptable
parameters. A commented list of all configuration options can also be generated by running puppet master with '--genconfig'.
--all Connect to all available hosts. Requires LDAP support at this point.
--class
Specify a class of machines to which to connect. This only works if you have LDAP configured, at the moment.
--debug
Enable full debugging.
--foreground
Run each configuration in the foreground; that is, when connecting to a host, do not return until the host has finished its run. The
default is false.
--help Print this help message
--host A specific host to which to connect. This flag can be specified more than once.
--ignoreschedules
Whether the client should ignore schedules when running its configuration. This can be used to force the client to perform work it
would not normally perform so soon. The default is false.
--parallel
How parallel to make the connections. Parallelization is provided by forking for each client to which to connect. The default is 1,
meaning serial execution.
--tag Specify a tag for selecting the objects to apply. Does not work with the --test option.
--test Print the hosts you would connect to but do not actually connect. This option requires LDAP support at this point.
--ping Do a ICMP echo against the target host. Skip hosts that don't respond to ping.
EXAMPLE
$ sudo puppet kick -p 10 -t remotefile -t webserver host1 host2
