Issue #4480 has been updated by Mohit Chawla.

I do not have to manually invoke runsv, that is done by runsvdir ( 
http://smarden.org/runit/runsvdir.8.html ) . What puppet does - is the correct 
<ins>procedure</ins> ( except the timing considerations, I guess )  - which 
yes, if done manually ( symlink and then start ) works.

Bug #4480: Runit service provider behavior
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4480

Author: Mohit Chawla
Status: Needs More Information
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: provider
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 0.25.4
Keywords: 
Branch: 


When runit provider creates the symlink for a service (to /etc/service), and if 
service is enabled in the manifest, an error is encountered as:

<pre>
`notice: Enabling /etc/service/qmail: linking /var/qmail/boot/qmail -> 
/etc/service/qmail
err: //qmail/Service[qmail]/ensure: change from stopped to running failed: 
Execution of '/usr/bin/sv start /etc/service/qmail' returned 1: warning: 
/etc/service/qmail: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist`
</pre>

This is because runit needs about 5 seconds to discover new services, but 
puppet doesn't wait. 

As far as I can tell, the provider needs to have a provision for delaying the 
service start by 5 seconds. Not practical really, but that's what I can think 
of right now.
