Description

Please add an option to make puppet agent wait for the lock to become available and then run. As is I often end up retrying multiple times, or setting up a while loop to check for the presence of the lock file.

For example, puppet agent --waitforlock --test or puppet agent -Wt.

This should also work for the agent's ssl lock
