Issue #1014 has been updated by James Turnbull.
I added some code that doesn't make this simpler in #3323 but provides the capability to reload and graceful where the init script has those. ---------------------------------------- Feature #1014: Services should support 'reload' in addition to 'restart' https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1014 Author: Adrian Bridgett Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: service Target version: Telly Affected Puppet version: 0.24.7 Keywords: Branch: currently if a service needs kicking (e.g. a config file changed) you can notify the service, but this leads to a restart. It would be nice if a reload was done if the service was already running (although I suppose there are bound to be some services which require restarts for some files, reloads for others). A reload would be far faster (shorter service interruption) and potentially more robust. I'm looking at this since bind stop/start (I hadn't set "hasrestart") on Debian etch can fail - it looks like stop command doesn't wait for bind to exit (I'll raise a bug with Debian about that) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
