Issue #8346 has been updated by Mike Lehner.

Has anyone gotten this to work without removing the redhat-lsb package?
Is that the only solution to this problem? We're on Puppet 3.2 now and I'm 
really surprised this is still an issue, and even more surprised it hasn't 
affected more people.

I removed the redhat-lsb package and I seem to still have this issue with the 
ActiveMQ service so something else but related must be up with that as well.

Bug #8346: services falsely presumed running on redhat
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8346#change-96342

* 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.
