[Craig Dunn (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Craig Dunn created an issue   Puppet / PUP-5926 Service resource ignoring status override. Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Kylo Ginsberg Components: Types and Providers Created: 2016/02/19 3:29 AM Priority: Major Reporter: Craig Dunn I'm seeing some odd behaviour when trying to override the status command of a service which seems to be being ignored. According to the docs, setting {{ hasstatus }} to {{ false }} and adding a custom command to the {{ status }} attribute should allow me to fine tune how Puppet tries to determine if my service is running... If a service’s init script does not support any kind of status command, you should set hasstatus to false and either provide a specific command using the status attribute or expect that Puppet will look for the service name in the process table. and for {{ status }}... Specify a status command manually. This command must return 0 if the service is running and a nonzero value otherwise. I've boiled my problem down to the following example code service { 'fake_service': ensure => running, start => '/bin/echo start command', status => '/bin/true', hasstatus => false, The behaviour I would expect from this is that when evaluating the service, puppet will run {{ /bin/true }} to determine if the service is up, which will return 0, and then stop there since the service should always be deemed running. However when I run the above code I see that the status command is never run and puppet insists on querying the service through systemctl.... Debug: Executing '/usr/bin/systemctl is-active fake_service' Debug: Executing '/bin/echo start command' Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Service[fake_service]/ensure: ensure changed 'stopped' to 'running' So far I've seen this on Puppet 4.3.1 (MacOS) and Puppet 3.8.4 (Redhat 7.1) Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.12#64027-sha1:e3691cc) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
