NAME
puppet-master - The puppet master daemon SYNOPSIS
The central puppet server. Functions as a certificate authority by default. USAGE
puppet master [-D|--daemonize|--no-daemonize] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-l|--logdest file|console|syslog] [-v|--verbose] [-V|--version] [--compile node-name] DESCRIPTION
This command starts an instance of puppet master, running as a daemon and using Ruby's built-in Webrick webserver. Puppet master can also be managed by other application servers; when this is the case, this executable is not used. 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/stable/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'. --daemonize Send the process into the background. This is the default. --no-daemonize Do not send the process into the background. --debug Enable full debugging. --help Print this help message. --logdest Where to send messages. Choose between syslog, the console, and a log file. Defaults to sending messages to syslog, or the console if debugging or verbosity is enabled. --verbose Enable verbosity. --version Print the puppet version number and exit. --compile Compile a catalogue and output it in JSON from the puppet master. Uses facts contained in the $vardir/yaml/ directory to compile the catalog. EXAMPLE
puppet master DIAGNOSTICS
When running as a standalone daemon, puppet master accepts the following signals: SIGHUP Restart the puppet master server. SIGINT and SIGTERM Shut down the puppet master server. SIGUSR2 Close file descriptors for log files and reopen them. Used with logrotate. AUTHOR

NAME
puppet-plugin - Interact with the Puppet plugin system. SYNOPSIS
puppet plugin action DESCRIPTION
This subcommand provides network access to the puppet master's store of plugins. The puppet master serves Ruby code collected from the lib directories of its modules. These plugins can be used on agent nodes to extend Facter and implement custom types and providers. Plugins are normally downloaded by puppet agent during the course of a run. OPTIONS
Note that any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument, although it may or may not be relevant to the present action. For example, server is a valid configuration parameter, so you can specify --server <servername> as an argument. See the configuration file documentation at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/configuration.html for the full list of acceptable parameters. A commented list of all configuration options can also be generated by running puppet with --genconfig. --mode MODE The run mode to use for the current action. Valid modes are user, agent, and master. --render-as FORMAT The format in which to render output. The most common formats are json, s (string), yaml, and console, but other options such as dot are sometimes available. --verbose Whether to log verbosely. --debug Whether to log debug information. ACTIONS
download - Download plugins from the puppet master. SYNOPSIS puppet plugin download DESCRIPTION Downloads plugins from the configured puppet master. Any plugins downloaded in this way will be used in all subsequent Puppet activ- ity. This action modifies files on disk. RETURNS A list of the files downloaded, or a confirmation that no files were downloaded. When used from the Ruby API, this action returns an array of the files downloaded, which will be empty if none were retrieved. EXAMPLES
