Issue #8346 has been updated by Sven T.
Is there a real solution, something without the workaround? I happen to need the lsb package... :/ ---------------------------------------- Bug #8346: services falsely presumed running on redhat https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8346#change-62541 Author: Chris Phillips Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: service Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.7 Keywords: service status stopped restart Branch: I have a number of systems which are frequently having problems centering around various services being believed to be running by puppet when they are actually stopped. I have not seen any examples of the opposite being true however. Two examples: I use a nagios check to run puppet, so want to ensure the puppet client service is NOT running. the manifest I use to do this is: service { "puppet": ensure => stopped, enable => false, subscribe => File["/etc/puppet/puppet.conf"], hasrestart => true, hasstatus => true, } And this is normally working just fine, however sometimes a client starts to believe that the service IS running, despite there being NO puppet processes running other than the current one-shot one executing the manifests. This happens if running from a cron job, a nagios check or "puppetd -tv" from command line directly. "/etc/init.d/puppet status" returns that the service is not running, with the right exit code (3). Puppet output on continual manual runs: notice: /Stage[first]/Puppet/Service[puppet]/ensure: ensure changed 'running' to 'stopped' notice: Finished catalog run in 13.93 seconds again and again forever until the manifest is changed, to, for example, say it should be running, let that apply, and then revert back to stopped. Similarly I need func running on all boxes, sometimes it will stop during a logrotate for unknown reasons, and puppet will refuse to start it despite everything saying it is stopped. service { "funcd": ensure => running, enable => true, subscribe => File["/etc/func/minion.conf"], require => Package["func"], hasrestart => true, hasstatus => false } Again this generally works, but over this weekend 9 boxes has func fail on them, there are NO func processes running, and "/etc/init.d/funcd status" confirms this (textually and exist code 3), and this manifest generally works fine. This may possibly be related to the use of the hasstatus parameter, it *seemed* to improve the func service check, but doesn't influence the puppet service being falsely believed to be running. Or the repetitive nature suggests something is possibly cached on the client? This is on 2.6.7 on rhel5 & 6, i386 and x86_64. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
