Title: Message Title

Rob Reynolds created an issue   Puppet / PUP-3387 Enhance Windows Service Provider to handle dependent services Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Kylo Ginsberg Components: Client Created: 03/Oct/14 12:10 PM Labels: windows Priority: Normal Reporter: Rob Reynolds Coming from a discussion at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/puppet-users/-N3z97DR63c/CMFZu4Uw7JYJ : I'm sending a refresh event to a class containing this declaration..... service { ['Sentinel RMS License Manager', 'Micro Focus XDB Server for ETD 2.2', 'Micro Focus CES daemon']: ensure => 'running', enable => 'true', } This results in the follow Windows error embedded in the puppet debug output..... Error: /Stage[main]/somewhere::Init2/Service[Sentinel RMS License Manager]: Cannot stop Sentinel RMS License Manager, error was: Execution of 'C:/Windows/system32/net.exe stop Sentinel RMS License Manager' returned 4294967295: The following services are dependent on the Sentinel RMS License Manager service. Stopping the Sentinel RMS License Manager service will also stop these services.   Micro Focus CES daemon   Do you want to continue this operation? (Y/N) [N]: No valid response was provided. i.e. To refresh the License Manager, I also need to refresh "Micro Focus CES daemon" I suppose chaining each service in turn ensure => stopped, then chaining each again ensure => running would do the trick. Bit messy however. Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159-sha1:44eaede) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
