Puppet unresponsive nodes list

clean-all.sh

# I'm sure there is a more ruby way of doing this
# house keeping
mv puppet.dead puppet.dead.old

# get a list of all the unresponsive nodes
/opt/puppet/bin/rake -f /opt/puppet/share/puppet-dashboard/Rakefile node:unlist >> puppet.dead

#deactivate unresponsive nodes
cat puppet.dead | xargs -I {} puppet node deactivate {}

# clean unresponsive nodes
cat puppet.dead | xargs -I {} puppet node clean {}

# remove unresponse nodes from db and puppet console
cat puppet.dead | xargs -I {} /opt/puppet/bin/rake -f /opt/puppet/share/puppet-dashboard/Rakefile node:del['{}']

puppet-list-unresponsive.rake

# Puppet command line(CLI) tool to list unresponsive nodes. 
# Add this to the `/opt/puppet/share/puppet-dashboard/lib/tasks` directory. 
# `rake node:unrelist` to show all unresponsive nodes by name.
# Copied and modified from original Puppet `node:list` rake task.
