Hi is it possible to run my custom script in place of ‘puppet kick’ or
‘mco’.
Puppet kick is deprecated, also it does not work when the client is running
–noop. I may be missing something with my configs hence this post.
From a systems management point of view I want to make changes to systems
under my control.
Mcollective I think is overkill for my environment but I will go that way
if necessary 
To give you some background:
Running Puppet 3.x & Foreman 1.2
The Puppet clients are running in daemon mode with --noop. This is to give
me up-to-date info on the clients while not updating the config until I
choose to do so.
At the moment I am running a custom script ‘mypuppetkick’ from the
Foreman/Puppet master to run a puppet command on the remote puppet client.
Something like:
···
#
ssh $1 “/usr/bin/puppet agent --test”
It may not be pretty but it works!
Pros:It gives some security as it runs over SSH.
Cons: It is clunky to use.
I am happy to rename my script to ‘puppetrun’ if I can hack Foreman to call
it. 
Or if you have a better way please let me know.
Regards, Mike.
Maybe you would like to look at Foreman and Mcollective integration.
I'm running my puppet with cron and I use Mcollective to trigger puppet run
from Foreman.
I have a blogpost about that :

Wish it will help.
