Hi guys,
The Puppet that comes with Ubuntu Vivid (3.7.2) is broken -- it doesn't
correctly resolve whether a service is an Upstart service, so e.g. any mysql
service notification will fail when trying to restart a service (some other
services fail too). This is because the 'service' Puppet type is trying to
invoke /sbin/{start,stop,status,restart,reload} scripts, which fail. So
basically Puppet issues 'reload mysql', when it should be issuing 'service
mysql reload'
There's an easy work-around -- I have written a simple script that emulates
old-style service init behavior, and symlinked it into /sbin/ as
appropriate; however, this dirty hack may cause problems down the road, so
I really would rather avoid it.
I am hoping that an official Puppetlabs release for Vivid might fix the
problem. Do you guys know when/if it's coming? I keep checking in
https://apt.puppetlabs.com/, but there's nothing there still...
Alternatively, does anyone know how to make the stock distro Puppet package
resolve the service type correctly?
BTW, in case anyone cares, here's my work-around script -- I put it at
/usr/local/bin/initWrapper:
#!/bin/bash
commandName=$(basename $0)
serviceName=$1
service "$serviceName" "$commandName"
Then you just replace the symlinks at
/sbin/{start,stop,status,restart,reload} with symlinks to this new
script... Now the puppet manifests finish running fine.
However, this work-around strikes me as dangerous, so I don't recommend
anyone use it.
