Issue #5197 has been updated by Stefan Schulte.
I think an even better alternative whould be to use `rc-status` instead. * check running: `/sbin/rc-service <servicename> status` * start service: `/sbin/rc-service <servicename> start` * stop service : `/sbin/rc-service <servicename> stop` * check enabled: `/bin/rc-status -C default boot` and grep for `<servicename>` * enable: `/sbin/rc-update add <servicename>` * disable: `/sbin/rc-update del <servicename>` Does `rc-status` work with long service names? ---------------------------------------- Bug #5197: Gentoo service provider doesn't catch long service names due to "rc-update show" truncating names https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5197 Author: Doug Warner Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 0.25.5 Keywords: service provider gentoo Branch: I'm trying to manage a service called "openvpn.something_rather_longish" (sorry for the example name). Unfortunately, when you run `/sbin/rc-update show` you get the following: openvpn.something_r | default Puppet doesn't find the service "openvpn.something_rather_longish" so it tries to enable it. Every time it runs. rc-update doesn't seem like there's a way around this, so I would recommend just looking in `/etc/runlevels/{boot,default}/` instead and then use rc-update to enable/disable the service. I'll try to work on a patch tomorrow as this is affecting us in several different situations. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
