catalog run lock

[DwayneFryer1]

I'm receiving a "puppet agent failure" error in H&W. I ssh'd into the server in question and ran the command "puppet agent -t" to test and received the following:

Notice: Run of Puppet configuration client already in progress; skipping (/var/lib/puppet/state/agent_catalog_run.lock exists)

I have seen this message before but I cannot recall the steps in resolving. Please advise. Thanks.

Dwayne,

Run: service puppet stop

Then delete the file: /var/lib/puppet/state/agent_catalog_run.lock

Finally, service puppet start

Validate it executed correctly by tailing the messages log file.
