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.

NAME

       puppet-filebucket - Store and retrieve files in a filebucket

SYNOPSIS

       A stand-alone Puppet filebucket client.

USAGE

       puppet  filebucket mode [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-d|--debug] [-v|--verbose] [-l|--local] [-r|--remote] [-s|--server server] [-b|--bucket
       directory] file file ...

       Puppet filebucket can operate in three modes, with only one mode per call:

       backup: Send one or more files to the specified file bucket. Each sent file is printed with its resulting md5 sum.

       get: Return the text associated with an md5 sum. The text is printed to stdout, and only one file can be retrieved at a time.

       restore: Given a file path and an md5 sum, store the content associated with the sum into the specified	file  path.  You  can  specify	an
       entirely new path to this argument; you are not restricted to restoring the content to its original location.

DESCRIPTION

       This is a stand-alone filebucket client for sending files to a local or central filebucket.

       Note  that 'filebucket' defaults to using a network-based filebucket available on the server named 'puppet'. To use this, you'll have to be
       running as a user with valid Puppet certificates. Alternatively, you can use your local file bucket by specifying '--local'.

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 with '--genconfig'.

       --debug
	      Enable full debugging.

       --help Print this help message

       --local
	      Use the local filebucket. This will use the default configuration information.

       --remote
	      Use a remote filebucket. This will use the default configuration information.

       --server
	      The server to send the file to, instead of locally.

       --verbose
	      Print extra information.

       --version
	      Print version information.

EXAMPLE

       $ puppet filebucket backup /etc/passwd
       /etc/passwd: 429b225650b912a2ee067b0a4cf1e949
       $ puppet filebucket restore /tmp/passwd 429b225650b912a2ee067b0a4cf1e949
