Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: puppet
Puppet does not currently have an "upstart" provider for the service
resource. As such, it relies on upstart's sysV compatability, which is
somewhat limited.
The key problem here is that features such as "ensure => running" cannot
rely on "hasstatus => true" for any service that has an upstart init
script. Upstart's status command appears to consider the exit code to
be an actual error status *for upstart itself*, and does not conform to
the status-based exit codes specified by sysV init scripts.
The result is that the only way to know if a service is running or
stopped in puppet on lucid is to set "hasstatus => false" and then
define a regular expression for grepping the process table--this is far
from optimal.
Compounding this, puppet's init.d provider considers it appropriate to
run "update-rc.d" as though the sysV script were the preferred init
script.
What needs to happen very soon is either an upstart provider is written
for puppet's service resource (presumably one that falls back to the
sysv script if no upstart script is found), or the sysV compatibility
scripts need to interpret the "stop/waiting" output of the upstart
status command and translate that to the standard exit code. Until
then, lucid's puppet is somewhat crippled.
