I am writing a server automation tool, Puppet
(http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet), and in order to automate the
management of systems running init-ng I need to be able to query the exact
state
of services.
Specifically, there are three essentially independent variables for every
service: Is it installed? Is it enabled to start at boot time? Is it
running?
My understanding is that I can already easily query that last one, but it
is
important that init-ng make it easy to query the other two, and of the
two, the
'enabled to start at boot time' is more important (since I expect packages
will
handle the installation, most often).
It is very important that init-ng make it easy to determine whether a
service
has been configured to start at boot time. Please add this querying
functionality, preferably in a way that does not involve parsing files
(since
file formats change over time).
Thanks.
