Issue #15911 has been updated by Calvin Walton.
Note that as of systemd version 188, the '.service' suffix is optional when using the systemctl command-line tool - i.e. `systemctl status snmpd` does the same thing as `systemctl status snmpd.service` Other things to note: The name of a service in systemd cannot contain a '.' character. I think it would be safe for the service type in puppet to append '.service' to the provided name if and only if the provided name does not contain a '.' ---------------------------------------- Feature #15911: automatic .service suffix for the systemd provider to keep service names consistent https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15911#change-69622 Author: Robert Kennedy Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Robert Kennedy Category: service Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: systemd Branch: I'd like to be able to be able to have a mix of systemd and redhat systems that run the same named services. Currently it seems I have to resort to <pre> $snmpservicename = $snmpserviceprovider ? { "systemd" => "snmpd.service", "redhat" => "snmpd", } service { "$snmpservicename": provider => "$snmpserviceprovider", etc. } </pre> I would much rather choose the provider for my system and be able to refer to the snmpd service with the same name across hosts with different providers if possible. I believe everything that puppet would want to handle as a Service would have a .service suffix. If you think it would cause too much confusion due to the assumption of service naming, I can continue to do what I'm doing. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
