Issue #3323 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.

Status changed from Tests Insufficient to Code Insufficient

Given that this only supports one choice, `stop/start`, `restart`, `reload`, or 
`graceful`, it seems highly counter-intuitive that you would have to pick *one* 
of multiple boolean values.  It would, I think, make a great deal more sense 
recast as a single multi-value field that allowed the selection between them.

That also avoids the obvious failure mode, which is that someone accidentally 
sets two of the fields true, resulting in unspecified behaviour.  (I would 
object less if the change treated setting multiple values as a hard error, 
which it does not.)

However, it seems to me that this change is likely really wanting to have a 
richer set of notification semantics for services, rather than wanting to be 
able to hard-code the type of restart, no?  In that case, is this actually a 
valuable intermediate step?

Feature #3323: Create hasreload similar to hasrestart
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3323

Author: Chuck McIntyre
Status: Code Insufficient
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Chuck McIntyre
Category: service
Target version: Telly
Affected Puppet version: 0.24.8
Keywords: hasreload, service
Branch: https://github.com/jamtur01/puppet/tree/tickets/master/3323


Many init scripts allow for a "reload" option in addition to a restart and a 
stop/start. 

It would be useful if this could be defined for a given service generically, 
rather than having to resort to an Exec resource or other workaround for cases 
where we want to reload instead of restart (an example could be made using 
apache or bind configuration changes).

I am attaching an example diff (note this is not a patch, nor has it been 
tested) to describe in more detail how this might be accomplished.

I am willing to submit a patch for this if the feature is accepted. I would 
like some guidance as to whether the existing unit test modifications are 
sufficient or if it is necessary to test that (at least) reload and restart get 
called appropriately (not simply that stop/start get called when not specified).
