Issue #13325 has been updated by Jeremy Rosengren. Status changed from Needs More Information to Closed
Argh... of course this is what's happening. I just needed somebody to express the problem in those terms. Thank you! ---------------------------------------- Bug #13325: CentOS /etc/init.d/puppet, puppetd run under "daemon" doesn't properly run custom facts. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13325#change-58238 Author: Jeremy Rosengren Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assignee: Jeremy Rosengren Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Ruby version: ruby-1.8.5-19.el5_6.1 Puppet version: puppet-2.7.12-1.el5 Facter version: facter-1.6.6-1.el5 CentOS version: 5.7 I have a custom fact called /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/oraclehome.rb that determines the Oracle home location for the Oracle installation. I use this information to modify /etc/init.d/oracle (script that starts/stops the DB). The custom fact looks like this: Facter.add(:oraclehome) do setcode do if ENV['ORACLE_HOME'] ENV['ORACLE_HOME'] end end end If I run either: puppet agent --test, puppetd --test, puppet agent, or puppetd manually from the command-line, the oraclehome.rb generates the correct information and /etc/init.d/oracle is modified correctly. If I run "service puppet start", the init script provided by the puppet-2.7.12-1.el5 package obtained from Puppetlabs' repository, the oraclehome.rb custom fact is unable to determine the Oracle home location with the result being that the /etc/init.d/oracle file Oracle home setting is emptied. It seems like this is the section in the /etc/init.d/puppet script that's causing the problems: start() { echo -n $"Starting puppet: " daemon $daemonopts $puppetd ${PUPPET_OPTS} ${PUPPET_EXTRA_OPTS} I couldn't find any mentions of this particular behavior on the mailing list or in other tickets. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
