- Register a node at a Puppet server and apply the received catalog:
`puppet agent --test --server {{puppetserver_fqdn}} --serverport {{port}} --waitforcert {{poll_time}}`
- Run the agent in the background (uses settings from `puppet.conf`):
`puppet agent`
- Run the agent once in the foreground, then exit:
`puppet agent --test`
- Run the agent in dry-mode:
`puppet agent --test --noop`
- Log every resource being evaluated (even if nothing is being changed):
`puppet agent --test --evaltrace`
- Disable the agent:
`puppet agent --disable "{{message}}"`
- Enable the agent:
`puppet agent --enable`
