Correct behaviour (default to systemd, determine if it is running, fallback to upstart / sysvinit) seems to have been added to puppet upstream at 4.1.0-87-g7fe6164, just a few days ago. This looks like it will be part of the puppet 4.1.1 release.
The packages currently in debian stable was changed to use the "service" command, which should work with all init systems in Debian/Ubuntu at this time. The upstream changes look possible to backport to puppet 3.7. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1457957 Title: puppet uses upstart for service status checks in vivid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/puppet/+bug/1457957/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
