Issue #16125 has been updated by R.I. Pienaar.
the pidfile also tells mcollective if the daemon is running or not and if its currently applying a catalog and at least on unix it tells us where to send the USR1 the pifile also prevents multiple agents from applying catalogs at the same time we'd def want to harmonise as much as possible of this between platforms I think ---------------------------------------- Bug #16125: Puppet running as windows service does not create pidfile https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16125#change-71226 Author: Josh Cooper Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: 3.0.0 Affected Puppet version: Keywords: windows service pidfile Branch: Puppet does not create a pidfile when running as a windows service. On Unix, this happens in the `daemon.rb` code, but since we never daemonize on Windows, this doesn't happen. Instead the daemon service wrapper needs to create this so that mcollective can detect that the service is running and signal it to run. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
