Joshua Partlow commented on an issue   Re: upstart service operating system confine should include redhat and centos After talking with Adrien, we confirmed that you can start/stop an upstart service with manifest code that specifies the upstart provider. So, given: [root@gk0q9dhjekmei6y ~]# facter osfamily operatingsystemrelease operatingsystemrelease => 6.3 osfamily => RedHat [root@gk0q9dhjekmei6y ~]# puppet resource service vmware-tools --param=provider service { 'vmware-tools': ensure => 'stopped', enable => 'true', provider => 'upstart', } Applying this: [root@gk0q9dhjekmei6y ~]# cat vmware.pp service { 'vmware-tools': ensure => running, provider => upstart, } Uses upstart commands like so: [root@gk0q9dhjekmei6y ~]# puppet apply vmware.pp --debug ... Notice: Compiled catalog for gk0q9dhjekmei6y.delivery.puppetlabs.net in environment production in 0.11 seconds ... Debug: Loaded state in 0.00 seconds [7/1931] Info: Applying configuration version '1394151016' Debug: Executing '/sbin/status vmware-tools' Debug: Executing '/sbin/start vmware-tools' Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Service[vmware-tools]/ensure: ensure changed 'stopped' to 'running' Debug: /Stage[main]/Main/Service[vmware-tools]: The container Class[Main] will propagate my refresh event Info: /Stage[main]/Main/Service[vmware-tools]: Unscheduling refresh on Service[vmware-tools] ... Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.87 seconds ... And we end up with a running service: [root@gk0q9dhjekmei6y ~]# puppet resource service vmware-tools --param=provider service { 'vmware-tools': ensure => 'running', enable => 'true', provider => 'upstart', } Specifying the provider is required because 'Redhat' is the default, sysvinit service, and there isn't currently a good way to distinguish between a sysvinit service that doesn't exist versus isn't running, so we don't have a fallback to upstart. Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-876 upstart service operating system confine should include redhat and centos RedHat EL 6 and Centos 6 both use upstart for init. The upstart service type should be able to be used on those systems as well. I have done some very minor testing to make sure it at least works to ensure services are running and stopped.
