I checked the output of the eselect method w/ a service with a really long
name, and got something like this:
# eselect --no-color rc list
...
openvpn.some_really_really_reaally_long_name
default
Also when running the "eselect --no-color rc --all --unused" I get "!!! Error:
Action all unknown"
I'm currently using eselect 1.2.15

Bug #5197: Gentoo service provider doesn't catch long service names due to
"rc-update show" truncating names

Affected Puppet version: 0.25.5
Keywords: service

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.
