Quick and easy init script

Quick and easy init script - puppetwatchdog

This is the init script that developed to launch puppetwatchdog in order to gather all the facter values from the puppet agent. Then, it will bump it into a sqlite3 database for further data analysis.

Puppetwatchdog should be setup at puppetmaster.

If you want to write a quick and easy daemon script at /etc/init.d/*. You can pretty much take a look at this code.
