Module: Puppet::Agent::Locker

Included in:
Puppet::Agent
Defined in:
lib/puppet/agent/locker.rb

Overview

This module is responsible for encapsulating the logic for “locking” the puppet agent during a catalog run; in other words, keeping track of enough state to answer the question “is there a puppet agent currently applying a catalog?”

The implementation involves writing a lockfile whose contents are simply the PID of the running agent process. This is considered part of the public Puppet API because it used by external tools such as mcollective.

For more information, please see docs on the website.
