I want puppet to normally manage the running state of a service, so
that if the service stops, it is restarted, etc. But during maintenance
windows, I want puppet to leave the service in whatever state it is in.
My idea is to have a file that can be checked to see if the service is
in maintenance mode, and if so, then skip the ensure check.
To do this, I see two issues.
1) How do I test for the existence of a file? The docs don't seem to be
able to do so. I'm guessing I would need to define a custom fact for
that, right?
2) How do make it so that the service "ensure" property is correct?
Right now, it appears that only "running" or "notrunning" is valid.
Would "ignored" or undef or something like that work?
Is there a better way to achieve what I'm trying to do?
