This script can be used to connect to a set of machines running +puppet agent+ and trigger them to run their configurations\. The most common 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\.
.
.P
If you are not storing your host configurations in LDAP, you can specify hosts manually\.
.
.P
You will most likely have to run +puppet kick+ as root to get access to the SSL certificates\.
.
.P
+puppet kick+ reads +puppet master+\'s configuration file, so that it can copy things like LDAP settings\.+puppet kick+ is useless unless +puppet agent+ is listening\. See its documentation for more information, but the gist is that you must enable +listen+ on the +puppet agent+ daemon, either using +\-\-listen+ on the command line or adding \'listen: true\' in its config file\. In addition, you need to set the daemons up to specifically allow connections by creating the +namespaceauth+ file, normally at \'/etc/puppet/namespaceauth\.conf\'\. This file specifies who has access to each namespace; if you create the file you must add every namespace you want any Puppet daemon to allow \-\- it is currently global to all Puppet daemons\.
.
.P
An example file looks like this::
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
[fileserver]
allow *\.madstop\.com
[puppetmaster]
allow *\.madstop\.com
[puppetrunner]
allow culain\.madstop\.com
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
This is what you would install on your Puppet master; non\-master hosts could leave off the \'fileserver\' and \'puppetmaster\' namespaces\.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 \fIdirectory\fR\' as an argument\.
.
.P
See the configuration file documentation at http://reductivelabs\.com/projects/puppet/reference/configref\.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\'\.
