Bug #4328: modifying user fails if user is logged in 
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4328

Author: Klavs Klavsen
Status: Closed
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: 
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: 0.25.5
Keywords: 
Branch: 


Just noticed (on Ubuntu 10.04 - probably valid for more OS'es) - that puppet 
failed to change a users homedir (the nagios user in this case) - and usermod 
failed to do so, because the user was logged in (the nrpe service was running).

To fix this, one way would be to have a "pre-exec" and "post-exec" hook - which 
in this case, would be to stop and start the relevant service. or perhaps some 
"obstruction" parameter - where one could define the Service["nrpe"] as an 
obstruction (which would mean puppet would stop it before and start it again 
after - if it was indeed stopped by puppet beforehand).
