Issue #7165 has been updated by Nigel Kersten. Subject changed from services restarted unnecessarily to If services hasn’t started yet, where possible update the file first and then start the service. Status changed from Needs Decision to Needs More Information
I'm looking for more information on service providers where we want this behavior, as I'm pretty sure we're not going to implement this for every provider. ---------------------------------------- Bug #7165: If services hasn’t started yet, where possible update the file first and then start the service. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7165 Author: John Florian Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: service Target version: Affected Puppet version: 0.25.5 Keywords: Branch: Given the following conditions: 1. service 'S' is currently disabled/stopped 1. config file 'F' for service 'S' is currently in state 'A' 1. puppet class 'C' calls for 'S' to be enabled/running and 'F' to be in state 'B' When puppet runs, the following currently occurs: <pre> notice: //C/File[F]/content: content changed '{md5}-A' to '{md5}-B' info: //C/File[F]: Scheduling refresh of Service[S] notice: //C/Service[S]/ensure: ensure changed 'stopped' to 'running' notice: //C/Service[S]: Triggering 'refresh' from 1 dependencies </pre> Thus, puppet sees the service is to be running and makes it so. Then it realizes that a refresh is needed and so restarts the service. The restart is unnecessary in this case. Depending on the particular service, this could be quite undesirable. Puppet should be able to recognize this case and simply start the service just once. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
