DESCRIPTION

This is the puppet central daemon.

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://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 puppetmasterdd 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.

nobucket: Do not function as a file bucket.

nonodes: Do not use individual node designations; each node will

receive the result of evaluating the entire configuration.

noreports: Do not start the reports server.

verbose: Enable verbosity.

version: Print the puppet version number and exit.
