Re: [Puppet Users] how to force tomcat restart using puppet kick and service type ?

[Puppet Users] how to force tomcat restart using puppet kick and service type ?

I'm using the puppetlab-tomcat module.when i want to start tomcat ,i will kick the agent to run this code. tomcat::service{'default': service_ensure = true, catalina_base ='/opt/apache-tomcat/tomcat', } if i want to stop,i will change the service_ensure to false.
