Issue #13980 has been updated by R.I. Pienaar. Description updated
---------------------------------------- Bug #13980: Services not disabling completely on RHEL 5/6 https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13980#change-60687 Author: Ashley Penney Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: We encountered a situation with puppet where having: <pre> service { 'rhnsd': ensure => false, enable => false, } </pre> Wasn't enough to fully disable a service. It remained "on" for runlevel 2. This caused us to fail some compliance tests and so I started digging deeper into this. It seems that the provider/service/redhat.rb uses /sbin/chkconfig service to see if a service is enabled or disabled. It looks like this uses 345 to determine if a service is enabled or not: <pre> [root@gws1 ~]# /sbin/chkconfig --levels 2 yum-updatesd on [root@gws1 ~]# /sbin/chkconfig yum-updatesd --list yum-updatesd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off [root@gws1 ~]# /sbin/chkconfig yum-updatesd [root@gws1 ~]# echo $? 1 [root@gws1 ~]# /sbin/chkconfig yum-updatesd off [root@gws1 ~]# /sbin/chkconfig yum-updatesd --list yum-updatesd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off [root@gws1 ~]# /sbin/chkconfig yum-updatesd [root@gws1 ~]# echo $? 1 [root@gws1 ~]# /sbin/chkconfig --levels 345 yum-updatesd on [root@gws1 ~]# /sbin/chkconfig yum-updatesd --list yum-updatesd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off [root@gws1 ~]# /sbin/chkconfig yum-updatesd [root@gws1 ~]# echo $? 0 </pre> As best I can tell it returns 0 if anything in 345 is on and 1 if they are set to off. I'm not sure if this will be changeable/fixable in puppet but it would be nice to either change service so it runs 'chkconfig --levels 0 service' for each level (so six calls per service, and all the associated tracking.) or even potentially add a runlevels => property that would then spawn the six calls only if set to reduce process spam. Sadly we can't just do 'chkconfig --levels 0123456 service' as it's not smart enough to handle that. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
