Feature #14663: systemd service provider should support masking
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14663

Author: Sandro Mathys
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: provider
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.14
Keywords: systemd, systemctl, mask, masked, masking, service
Branch: 


systemd knows three states for a service: enabled, disabled and masked. So far, 
the latter state doesn't seem to be supported by puppet's systemd service 
provider.

The difference of disabling and masking a service is as follows: a disabled 
service can be started as a dependency of another service or be started 
manually by a user. A masked service can neither.

Masking is done the same way as enabling or disabling:
systemctl enable|disable|mask <service>

So kindly implement either enable => mask(ed), ensure => masked (not sure what 
seems more logical) or mask(ed) => true|false in the systemd service provider.

Note: there's also a "unmask" command to systemctl. I figure ensure => 
enabled|disabled should always unmask the service additionally to 
enable|disable it.
